Over the past three years, the Huntington Fire Association has proudly raised more than $60,000 to support the Huntington Fire Department and help reduce the financial burden on taxpayers.

These funds have been used to offset the costs of essential equipment, firefighter gear, vehicle parts, building repair materials, and other operational needs that would otherwise have to come from the department’s budget. By providing this support, the Association helps lessen the impact of budget increases on the Town of Huntington while ensuring our firefighters have the tools and resources they need to serve the community safely and effectively.

None of this happens by accident. The members of the Huntington Fire Association dedicate countless hours each year organizing fundraisers, volunteering their time, and working hard to support the department’s mission. Their efforts help ensure that necessary purchases can be made without always having to ask taxpayers for additional funding.

Thank you to every member, volunteer, donor, and community supporter who has helped make this possible. Your support directly benefits the Huntington Fire Department and the residents we proudly serve.

🚒 Supporting our firefighters. Protecting our community. Investing in Huntington.

Respectfully

John McVeigh
Association President

🐾🚒 Training Never Stops for Search and Rescue K9 Luna! 🚒🐾
Thanks to a generous gesture from the instructor, Search and Rescue K9 Luna had the opportunity to attend a day of Massachusetts Department of Fire Services Fire and Life Safety Educator class Saturday in Huntington!

Even though Luna’s specialty is search and rescue, every new environment, exposure, and training opportunity helps build confidence and strengthens the skills that make her an asset in the field. From meeting new people to taking in a different training atmosphere, it was a valuable day of learning and socialization for our hardworking K9.

A sincere thank you to the instructor and fellow classmates for welcoming Luna into the class and providing this unique opportunity! 🐕🔥

Huntington Fire Association was able to purchase 4 Vallfrest Gorgui tools as part of our 2026 fundraising efforts. This tool eliminates carrying multiple tools into a wildland fire. The head functions as a McLeod, cutting rake and 2 different styles of pulaskys, while coming in lighter as well and lessening firefighter fatigue. Thank you to all of our supporters and association members who help to continue to support our fire department.
