The recently-released Fire Study done by Municipal Services recommends adding a fourth, new Fire Station as the City continues to grow, but controversially also suggests re-purposing the recently-renovated Central Fire Station into an EMS, or ambulance, outpost.
The Fire Study came out earlier this month from Donald Bliss, former New Hampshire Fire Marshal and owner of Municipal Services, and made 65 recommendations, of which only a fraction were controversial. The hope, Bliss said at a meeting two weeks ago, was to provide a roadmap forward as the City and its Fire Service continues to evolve.
A chief recommendation of the report – aside from the in-house ambulance issue that was resolved separately last week – was to construct and open a new fire station in the southern section of the City, preferably Lower Broadway.

More than anything, the numbers are further proof for Chief Carli that an in-house ambulance/med service is critical to the survival of the Fire Department. Already, Mayor Carlo DeMaria and Chief Carli have began a pilot to bring on 20 new fire personnel that would start by getting EMT certification and riding an ambulance while preparing to enter the Fire Academy. In the end, they would be full firefighter personnel, but also be specialized to staff and respond with an ambulance service. It’s a transformation the chief said is coming and long overdue.
