BUILDING RENOVATION PROJECT
The Fire Department’s current building is in need of some major repairs and renovations. They have spent hundreds of hours working with the Town and Tecton Architects to develop a cost-effective solution which will have at least a 35-year lifespan.
The town needs you to VOTE YES in favor of the Building Renovation Project at the Town Meeting on May 8th, 2023.
We need to support the people who support us. Otherwise, good firefighters and EMT’s will seek employment elsewhere and the services we enjoy today will be greatly impaired.

If your insurance does not cover the entire cost of the ambulance, you will not be billed for any unpaid amounts, including co-payments.
All emergency transportation and approved non-emergency transportation is covered for all members of a household living at the same address.
It's a small cost to pay for assurance and peace of mind that you will not be hit with a large bill after needing emergency services.
For only $17 more you can get a highly reflective street sign with your house number on it - this helps emergency services find your home much faster!
As the town grew to 49 families, the need for fire protection grew, and the Monson Volunteers Association was formed.
The Monson Fire Department is formed at a meeting of the Board of Selectmen.
By 1895, the Monson Fire Department occupied two fire stations, located at Fountain Street and Main Street. The Main Street station still stands today and is currently occupied by KBG Construction.
The Monson Fire Department acquires its first piece of motorized fire apparatus.
The Rotary Club donates the McKesson Resuscitator Inhaler, used for suffocation by smoke, drowning or other emergencies. This is the first documentation of the MFD providing medical care to citizens.
A 1948 Packard ambulance is donated to the department by the Rotary Club. Prior to this, an ambulance would respond from Palmer Hospital if needed. The MFD would go on to purchase its first new ambulance in 1960.
The existing facility is built to replace the drastically undersized and outdated fire stations on Main Street.
100 years after its formation, the Monson Fire Department is able to employ its first two full time EMT's to be housed at the station, thanks to a passing town vote. A second vote is passed to employ a full time Fire Chief.
