Letter from the Chief of Department
Kevin P. MacCurtain
Chief of Department
It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to the Boston Fire Department web site. Established in 1678, Boston is the first paid fire department in North America. The City of Boston is unique, rich in history, diverse, and dynamic.
As the Chief of Department, I am honored to serve with men and women who take pride in being a part of the Boston Fire Department. It is our privilege to serve the residents of the City of Boston, the workers who enter our city daily, and the many visitors.
Our mission is to prevent loss of life and property and to ensure the safety of Boston's citizens. We do this by focusing on training, fire prevention, and public education.
In this post 9-11 world that we live in our mission has changed to include preparation for any contingency either man made or natural disaster. We work closely with the Mayor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management in a collaborative multi agency effort.
- Recognize that we are here to serve the needs of the community and its citizens.
- Strive to provide the best service possible, in a professional and positive manner.
- Operate with a high sense of ethics, honesty, and integrity.
- Treat our citizens with respect, dignity, and fairness.
Sincerely,
Kevin P. MacCurtain
Chief of Department
