Westerly RI FD info

As of 2020 the Westerly Fire Department restructured the officers
moving from company officers who were elected to department officers
selected based on qualifications and oral interviews. Two captains and
four lieutenants were selected and began their official duties on June
1, 2020. The Westerly Fire District continues to maintain and operate
168 master boxes and 238 street boxes on the Gamewell fire alarm
system. The department also maintains two antiques apparatus, the 1927
Ahrens Fox pumper and the 1953 Seagrave pumper. Both have been
completely restored to original condition by the hard work of
department members and donations for the local community. The
department also maintains an 1860 Button and Blake hand-drawn hand
pumper. This piece is maintained solely by the members of the
department through catering events and has also been completely
restored.
