Please join us in congratulating Lieutenant Roger Moses on his retirement after more than 33 years of dedicated service to the Haverhill Fire Department.
Lieutenant Moses began his career on August 1, 1993, and throughout the next three decades built a reputation for professionalism, integrity, and quiet leadership. Promoted to Lieutenant in 2003, he later served in the Fire Prevention Division before taking over Fire Alarm in 2018. Along the way, he was honored as Haverhill Firefighter of the Year in both 2000 and 2015.
One of the most special moments of Roger’s career came in November of last year when his son, Firefighter Elijah Moses, joined the Haverhill Fire Department. Few firefighters have the opportunity to wear the same badge and serve alongside their son, making it a remarkable chapter in a career already filled with meaningful accomplishments.
For many of us, Roger will be remembered most for the way he treated people. Whether you were a probationary firefighter or a veteran, he showed everyone the same respect and made you feel like part of the brotherhood. As the officer in charge of Fire Alarm, he never lost sight of the firefighters serving under him. He looked out for his people, made sure they had what they needed, and led with fairness, humility, and genuine care. Those are the qualities that earn lasting respect.
Thank you, Lieutenant Roger Moses, for your unwavering dedication to the Haverhill Fire Department, your leadership, and the example you set for generations of firefighters. Congratulations on a remarkable career, and thank you for everything you’ve given to this department and our community.
