CHIMNEY CLEANING
Due to insurance and liability issues, the North Haven Fire Department will no longer be able to
conduct annual chimney cleanings. I am working with Midcoast Chimney to coordinate a time
in October to come out to clean chimneys for those who would like it done. If you would like
your name on the list, please email Taylor Benzie at: [email protected].
Thank you.

Our SCBA team all received new turnout gear this year - all other members will receive new gear in the next couple of years as we work to modernize our department.

On May 12th, 2018, the North Haven Fire Department conducted a controlled burn and training at Lisa Shields on the Middle Road. This was a coordinated effort between the NHFD, Rick Johnson, the Vinalhaven Fire Department, and multiple crews/individuals from the mainland. The burn was a huge success and provided necessary training for all members of our crew and specifically our new SCBA team members.

SCBA team members from North Haven and Vinalhaven entered the shed structure to observe smoke and extinguish flames in different controlled scenarios. After all of the scenarios were complete, what was left of the shed was torn down and burned at a later date.

The NHFD would like to extend a sincere thank you from our whole crew to Lisa Shields, Rick Johnson, Harold Smith and the rest of the individuals who attended/assisted from the mainland, April Brown and North Haven EMS, the Vinalhaven Fire Department, Daniel Landers, Michelle Campbell, and William Trevaskis. The North Haven Fire Department is exceedingly grateful for the support we received for this event and for the continued support from our community. Thank you!
