Fire Prevention and Safety

Fire Prevention and Safety includes all Milford Fire Department initiatives and programs to enhance the awareness, education and abilities of our citizens, businesses and visitors so they are better prepared and equipped to face fires, hazardous materials incidents, accidental injuries and natural disasters. Our goal through these programs is to reduce the loss of life, loss of property and occurrence of serious injury in our community. We maintain partnerships with the Milford Police Department, Milford Ambulance, Milford School District and other local or regional organizations to help us achieve this goal. Some of our programs include:

  • Permitting, Code Enforcement Inspections and Plans Review
  • Fire Origin and Cause Investigations
  • Car Seat Installation Education and Inspection
  • Risk Watch - A comprehensive injury prevention program.
  • Learn Not to Burn
  • Remembering When - A fire and fall prevention program for older adults.
  • Fire Extinguisher Training
  • Youth Firesetting Intervention in partnership with the Greater Nashua Youth Fire Intervention Program.
