On Sunday, July 26, the Southeastern NH Hazmat Team responded to Derry for a working building fire at 21 Birchwood Drive.

Our drone unit was requested to assist the Derry Fire Prevention Bureau with the origin and cause investigation, giving investigators imagery of the second floor and breezeway without putting crews on a ladder or into a fire-damaged structure. Our rehab unit also responded, supporting Derry and mutual aid companies with hydration, cooling, and medical monitoring in summer heat. The occupant evacuated prior to arrival and no injuries were reported.

The cause remains under investigation by the Derry Fire Department Fire Prevention Bureau. Thank you to Derry, NH Fire Department and all responding mutual aid agencies.

What a great week of training for the Southeastern NH Hazmat Team!

Over the course of four days, team members received hands-on training with newly acquired grant-funded equipment, focusing on confined space rescue and technical rope rescue operations taught by a CMC instructor.

Members developed proficiency in constructing and operating rope systems, conducting litter-based rescue evolutions, utilizing tripods and multipod systems, and performing scenarios designed to reinforce operational readiness and technical rescue capabilities.

A huge thank you to CMC: Rescue, Safety, Access, the New Hampshire Fire Academy, Windham Fire Department, and all participating agencies for their support and commitment to training.

We are currently seeking firefighters from our district communities to join us at a four-day hands-on training class with a CMC: Rescue, Safety, Access instructor. This isn’t classroom heavy training. It’s practical, scenario-based work where you’ll rig systems, operate haul and lowering setups, and solve problems the same way you would on the fireground.

Starting with fundamentals, participants will get comfortable with personal gear, rope management, and mechanical advantage systems using equipment like the Clutch, Capto, and Prusiks. As the training progresses, crews will build into more advanced operations including high directional setups with the Arizona Vortex, twin tension rope systems, and patient packaging using the litter and harness systems.

Confined space operations will be a major focus, incorporating the Triskelion, Harken Lokhead winch systems, and entry hardware to simulate realistic vertical and horizontal entries.

Don’t miss this exciting, free, opportunity provided by our team through grant funding! Space is limited due to instructor/student ratios. Contact your department’s Fire Chief for approval and to have your department secure your spot in the class. Class will be held in several locations in the greater Manchester area May 26-29, 2026.

Training this month at Derry, NH Fire Department Headquarters included classroom and hands on exercises utilizing some of the district’s new ropes equipment. We were able to take advantage of some of the new training props built into this new fire station.

This is a small portion of the equipment purchased this year using grant funds. Today’s training was a primer for an upcoming four day class with an instructor from the manufacturer.
