Our Mission

The New Boston Fire Department provides multiple discipline emergency response to the citizens of New Boston, and those that enter within the city limits. Those response disciplines include Fire Suppression, and Emergency Rescue.

Department Profile

New Boston Fire Department was establish as a fully paid fire department in 1921. The fire department has grown with the Village through the years to it's current authorized strength of 8 uniformed fire personnel. Recently, financial issues necessitated that 2 firefighters be laid off and a 50 cent pay cut village wide. This has left the department currently with only 8 firefighters  with authorized minimum daily staffing of 2 persons per shift . We use the 3 platoon system, and work a 24 hours on and 48 hours off schedule. A Kelly Day is authorized once every 8 weeks for a  53 hour work week. Our firefighters are members of the International Association Of Firefighters Union Local 511. The fire chief is a member of the ohio chiefs association.
