The Essex Fire Department is made up of over 35 men and women who put countless hours into training, planning, responding, and educating.  No two calls are alike, and we need to be prepared to handle a wide range of emergencies.  We are very lucky to boast a great number of firefighters who are cross-trained in other emergency services fields such as Emergency Medical Technicians, Hazardous Material Technicians, Police Officers, and Nurses. 

Like many towns in our region we rely on people who leave their fulltime jobs and their families to respond to our calls.  We thank the employers and the families for their support in making the fire department successful.
