Welcome to the official website of the Alton Firemen's Association, Inc. This website is maintained for the benefit of the Alton NH Fire & Rescue Department.
The Department is composed of 29 call members, a full-time secretary, and a part-time Chief and a part-time Assistant Chief who is the Department's Fire Inspector.
We responded to 709 calls in 2010 -- 190 fire, 470 EMS of which 70 were motor vehicle accidents, and 49 service calls -- making us the busiest call department and the 9th busiest department overall (behind 8 paid departments) in the Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid system www.lrmfa.org of which we are a member town (Town of Alton, NH). The Department covers approximately 70 square miles of land (one of the largest towns in the state of NH) and 20 square miles of water including 17 miles of shoreline and 9 inhabited islands. The population of Alton recorded in a 2000 census was 5,109.
The Alton Fire & Rescue Department has posted its 2011 strategic five year plan which outlines how we intend to provide operational services to the citizens of the Town of Alton.
