Fire Permits
The Haverhill Fire department is a public safety organization that strives to protect all of the people who live and work in and visit our city through fire prevention, public education, and emergency response. We provide many services beyond firefighting, including building inspections, code enforcement, building plan review, fire investigations, student and elder fire education, emergency medical response, water, and ice rescue, motor vehicle extrication, hazardous materials response, and much more.
We provide these services to over 60,000 residents, workers, and visitors spread over more than thirty-four (34) square miles. We respond to emergencies twenty-four (24) hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five (365) days a year. We consider it an honor to serve the public and look forward to assisting those in need.
