Special Services
EMA
Fall River Fire Dept Special Services consists of a lighting unit, lighting tower, a canteen unit that are manned by a group of volunteers when emergency situations arise. This group of volunteers are also the Emergency Management Agency for the city. FRFDSS also respond on mutual aid to surrounding towns and have responded to Somerset, MA Tiverton RI and Portsmouth RI recently. Anyone interested in joining should go to headquarters on Commerce Drive and ask to speak with the Director of EMA, Deputy Chief of Special Services, Richard Aguiar.
We are rumored to get another canteen truck. We may be getting one of the older International ambulances (poss R8). Check back often for pictures.
