The Acton Fire Department is a professional, career fire department that serves the town of Acton, Massachusetts, providing a comprehensive and responsible delivery system of fire protection, fire suppression, rescue, and emergency medical services (EMS).

Key aspects of the department include:

Services: They furnish Advanced Life Support (ALS) level ambulance and emergency medical services, in addition to fire suppression and rescue. They are also responsible for fire prevention, fire education, hazardous material emergency response, and emergency preparedness/disaster mitigation.

Staffing: The department is typically staffed by a full-time, career force, including a Fire Chief, Deputy Chief, Captains, Lieutenants, and Firefighters/EMTs. Most members are trained as EMTs, and many are also trained as Paramedics to provide the ALS services. Shift commanders and crews work on 24-hour shifts.

Stations: The department operates out of multiple stations situated throughout the town, though they have recently been involved in a pilot program to temporarily consolidate personnel and apparatus into two primary stations (North/Station 4 and South/Station 2) to increase operational efficiency, safety, and crew staffing on apparatus. Administrative offices are housed separately in the Public Safety Facility.

Equipment: The department utilizes modern equipment, including Seagrave fire apparatus, and advanced EMS tools, reflecting a commitment to up-to-date technology and safety.

The Acton Fire Department is dedicated to public safety and is actively seeking ways to continually improve service delivery and efficiency for the community.
