Fire
The National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®) has launched an expanded series of resources, guidelines, and information in response to the growing number of fires caused by lithium-ion batteries that power micromobility devices such as e-bikes and e-scooters, smaller electronics such as cell phones and laptops, and electric vehicles. As the use of these items has increased in recent years, so, too, has the number of fires associated with them.
Community Members, it is an honor and a privilege to have been appointed to the position of Fire Chief in 2018 and I am proud to serve in this capacity with the men and women of the Durham Fire Department. We are a group of dedicated professionals who strive to protect and improve the quality of life for the citizens and visitors of Durham along with the students, faculty, and staff of the University of New Hampshire.
Fire Prevention Permits can be obtained by stopping by the Fire Station, Monday through Friday, 0800 to 1600 hours. Permits are required for Installation and Maintenance of Fire Alarms, Sprinklers, Propane or Gas Tanks and Burners, as well as Blasting, and Special Exception Consumer Fireworks and other Pyrotechnics.
In the Town of Durham, the Fire Chief also acts as the community’s Forest Fire Warden. Burn permits can be obtained online at http://nh.burnsafeamerica.com/. (Note: There is a $5.50 service charge for obtaining the permit online).
We, the Durham Fire Department, are an organization of dedicated professionals whose purpose is to provide Fire, EMS, Rescue, Prevention and Education services to protect lives, property and the environment for our community.
