Woburn Fire
About Us
The Woburn Fire Department was organized and established in 1851. Today, the city of Woburn is home to over 40,000 residents and that population swells significantly during the week due to our commercial centers. The city consists of a 102-acre pond with walking trails and parks, 13 hotels, 2 major highways, both passenger and freight railway, a regional transportation center, and many major industries. The city is growing rapidly with many more new developments in the works. The Fire Department covers nearly 13 sq miles with 4 fire stations and 87 full-time firefighters. Woburn Fire currently staffs 3 engines, 1 aerial, 2 full time BLS ambulances, and a 24/7 911 dispatch center.
The mission of the Woburn Fire Department is to provide a safe and comfortable community to the citizens of Woburn as well as those who work here or travel through the city through timely and skilled response to fire, public safety, and medical emergencies. Our efforts are continually supported and advanced by our Fire Prevention, Fire Investigation, and Training Divisions.

Address: Horn Pond, Woburn, MA
The boat is currently housed inside the old pump house at Horn Pond. This boat is stored indoors. When a water emergency is reported, a box alarm is struck. The companies respond to the boat house and the boat is towed out of the building to the loading ramp by an old UTV that was donated to us years ago by the Cambridge Fire Department. This UTV is also used to aid crews for emergencies reported on the walking trails at Horn Pond Mountain.
Mutual Aid Partners
Paramedics
The Woburn Fire Department does not operate at the ALS level. A private ambulance company is contracted to provide the city with paramedics as well as backup BLS ambulances. Armstrong Ambulance Service out of Arlington, MA currently provides this service. Currently these resources are non dedicated to the city and are only provided “when available.” Woburn Fire relies heavily on the surrounding communities for mutual medical aid ALS ambulances and ALS intercepts. We’d like to thank all our mutual aid partners and communities for their continuous support.
