Stations and Apparatus
Station 1, 186 NH Rt. 49 (Central)
This is the Main Station which Campton-Thornton Fire Rescue operates from and is staffed with 2 Full-Time Firefighter/EMTs, 7 days a week from 6 a.m to 6 p.m. This station houses Ambulance 1, Engine 1 and 3, Rescue 1, Forestry 2, Car 2, and Utility 1, along with both our snowmobile and Special Operations trailers.
35 Car 1
This is a Ford F-150. This unit is assigned to the Fire Chief and is used for quick response, ahead of other apparatus. It carries basic equipment for EMS, Fire, Motor Vehicle Accidents and Technical/ Water Rescue. The Rear of the unit has 2 mobile radios and can be used for incident command and accountability at large incidents. You can see that this truck has a cap on the back so the Chief can keep his gear out of the cab of the vehicle. This is important so that carcinogens (the main cause of cancer to firefighters) are out of the vehicle.
