Epping Fire Department

We have a certified infant seat installation instructor. Call 679-5546 and make an appointment to have your infant seat installation inspected.

The winter heating season is upon us. Please be sure your chimney has been cleaned before using a wood stove and it is always a good idea to have your furnace cleaned and checked by a certified service technician.

Explorer Post 716

The Epping Fire Department Explorer Post 716 is accepting new members. The group meets every 2nd and 4th Thursday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. The Explorers, young men and women ages 14 to 20, learn how to use the Fire Department equipment and do search and rescue.

Once the probationary (learning) period is over, they may assist on fire calls. Explorers are allowed to ride on the apparatus if seats are available, assist firefighters with the self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), supervise the rescue truck and perform many other duties at a fire scene.

For more information call Cliff Cray at 396-9436 or leave a message for him at 679-5446.
