During that time, Haverhill Firefighters IAFF Local 1011 President & PFFM District 4 Vice President Tim Carroll stood for an endorsement request for Melinda Barrett and her run for Mayor of Haverhill.

The members of the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts in attendance, with a unanimous vote, proudly chose to endorse Melinda Barrett for Mayor of Haverhill.

Haverhill Fire to be Awarded a S.A.F.E.R Grant

Special Announcement – Please Share!

Haverhill Firefighters IAFF Local 1011 is very happy to announce that the Haverhill Fire Department has been awarded a FEMA SAFER Grant! This $4 million dollar staffing grant will allow Haverhill to hire 16 additional firefighters to staff a second ladder truck with 100% of salaries and benefits covered by the federal government.

Thank you to each and every individual who aided in this achievement. A very special thank you to the Haverhill Firefighters Grant Writing Team made up of your local firefighters: Grant Writing Team Lead Richard Shellene; Grant Writers and Support: Brian Ray, James Bizeur, Michael Foustoukos, Ryan Fairbanks, and Timothy Carroll.

A lot of work was done to setup the HFD for success in this grant catagory, including previous department landmarks & staffing increases. There will be a lot of people to thank in time, but without these dedicated individuals and the integral help from Fire Chief Robert O’Brien, the Haverhill Fire Department would not have been able to fund these positions so quickly.

100% salaries & benefits for 16 firefighters to staff a Bradford ladder truck for 3 years!

Thank you!
