South Deerfield Fire Department
South Deerfield, MA · Franklin County
The South Deerfield Fire District protects the village of South Deerfield within the town of Deerfield, in Franklin County, Massachusetts. It operates from a station at 84 Greenfield Road and is led by a Fire Chief who also serves as the district's Forest Warden.
Unlike a municipal fire department, the district is an independent special-purpose entity governed by an elected three-member Prudential Committee, with a Clerk/Treasurer handling administration. District business is set at an Annual District Meeting held each April.
The command structure is compact, with a Deputy Chief and a Captain rounding out the officer corps, reflecting the scale of a small western-Massachusetts village district.
The district does not publish recruitment, application, or membership details on its website. Prospective members should contact the fire district office directly at 413-665-2313 (or 413-625-8200), or reach the Clerk/Treasurer, to ask about current openings and how to apply.
