Welcome to the
North Scituate Fire Department No.1
A Message from The Chief
Thanks for visiting the North Scituate Fire Department's
website. Our Fire Department provides protection to approx. 40% of the
Town of Scituate, Rhode Island. North Scituate is a suburban yet rural
portion of Scituate located about 10 miles west of Providence. The Fire
Department is entirely volunteer with a roster of 35 members protecting about
5,000 of town's 10,000 residents. We currently operate the following frontline
pieces of apparatus, which include a Quint, Engine Tanker, Heavy Rescue Advanced
Life Support Ambulance, Brush Fire Unit as well as a spills trailer, a Fire Alarm line truck and a
Zodiac boat.
Our annual run volume exceeds 700 calls per year.
We have included for your viewing a apparatus roster (click
here), our departments and their structure (click
here), as well as department news and upcoming events.
As all volunteer agencies are experiencing a shortage of
funding and volunteers, we are also. If you feel compelled to work strange
and long hours, train endlessly, wish to get dirty and smelly, please feel free
to contact us at geninfo@northscituatefd.org, Feedback, or stop by the station and fill out an
application. Your determination and spirit will be greatly appreciated.
I hope you enjoy our website.

Volunteers Oath
We are Volunteers, we don't get paid for what we do
But our hope and prayers are to always see you through
We can be eating or awakened in the middle of the night
With a blast of our pagers saying There is a Fire we need to fight!
We are up and dressed and out the door
We meet sirens blaring and trucks that roar
The adrenaline pumping, were ready to go
Will we make it home? We never know.
Our jobs are to fight fires and to also save a life
Our goal is to make it home to our children and our wife
We do the unexpected. We tread where people fear.
We can't see where we are going so we really have to hear
When the fires out and the smoke is clear
My Heavenly Father just whispered in my ear
My precious child that was a job well done,
You just saved someone's precious little one!
Just one of the many beautiful sunsets as seen from the North Scituate
Fire Department which over looks the Scituate Reservoir.
