SERVING THE TOWNSHIP OF ROXBURY FOR OVER 85 YEARS

Roxbury Chemical Engine Company No. 1 has served the residents and visitors of Roxbury since 1917 with around-the-clock emergency medical and fire services. During 2004, Roxbury Company Number 1 responded to over 1300 calls for assistance –with an all volunteer membership. Roxbury Fire and EMS does not charge the people it serves.

In addition to staffing the fire apparatus and ambulances, the volunteer members of the RFD must contribute additional time in order to stay current with the extensive training required under State requirements.
