Mission of Windham Fire - Rescue
 The mission of the Windham Fire Rescue Department is:  

 

    "To assist the citizens and visitors of our community with emergencies that they are     unable to handle themselves."

The department provides a range of services that include:

 

  • Emergency Medical Response
  • Fire Suppression
  • Fire Prevention/Inspection Activities
  • Emergency Management
  • Hazardous Materials Response

The department also provides training on the following:


  • Workplace Safety
  • Fire Extinguishers
  • Evacuation
  • Fire Prevention
  • First Aid
  • CPR
