October 2026 Response Data is in.
October was the busiest month of the year so far with 266 incident responses! 2026 data continues on an upward trend with 2026 expected to pass the 2025 total by several hundred calls for service. November has already started out with steady shifts for Group 3 Sunday and Group 2 today Monday. Emergency Medical Services calls continues to be the primary driver of call volume. We thank mutual aid agencies that frequently respond into Sturbridge when Sturbridge Fire Department resources are unavailable or unstaffed. Simultaneous medical calls continue to be the primary driver of mutual aid utilization.

October 2026 update:
🚒🚑2,275 YTD incident responses to Oct 31
🚒🚑266 October 2026 incident responses
🔺️8.3% increase in call volume YTD vs 2025!

🏫 In October our members put in many hours at our schools, daycares and Senior Center for public fire & life safety community education. With the colder weather arriving comes increased risk for fires and carbon monoxide incidents. Be sure your alarms are working and your family has a practiced escape plan!

*Calls for service does not include inspections, fire code enforcement, training, community education and other community risk reduction activities performed by the Sturbridge Fire Department*

SFD Group 2 completed their Friday 24 hour shift with more than 2.5x the typical call volume in a 24 hour shift! Eighteen (18) calls for service. Mutual aid outbound to other communities 3 of the 18. Two were ALS intercepts. Predominantly the calls were Sturbridge responses in our own community. Mutual aid inbound once because the second ambulance was detailed at the TRHS football game. A lost hiker response for the UTV was one of the incidents. Callback firefighters responded in. Yesterday's shift had members on overtime maintaining 4 firefighters on duty allowing for less reliance on mutual aid with Sturbridge resources responding to emergencies. The data continues to document the need for increased full-time firefighter paramedics for the Sturbridge Fire Department to handle daily call volume with Sturbridge Fire resources.
Group 1 now on duty for Halloween 24 hour shift.
