The Stoughton Fire Department has protected the Stoughton community since 1849, evolving from early volunteer bucket companies into a modern career force. Operating 24/7, the department provides fire suppression, advanced life support (ALS) emergency medical transport, and specialized rescue operations across the town.

In addition to emergency response, the department focuses on community risk reduction through proactive fire inspections, safety education, and code enforcement. Working closely with Norfolk County mutual aid partners, Stoughton’s firefighters and paramedics remain dedicated to rapid, high-level emergency care and life safety.
