We also offer Firefighter I/II refresher classes in house for the rest
of our firefighters, using Massachusetts Firefighting Academy
instructors. We are mandated to be HazMat, CPR and First Responder
certified, which the department provides. Our inspectors and
Administration staff attend numerous classes through the Academy
pertaining to code compliance and enforcement. This year we have also
participated in a multi-town Tanker Shuttle Training and a Drill at
the Grafton/Upton Railroad Propane Facility. COMMUNITY Once again
theFire Department participated in Grafton’s National Night-Out
Program at the Police Station and Grafton Celebrates the Holidays.
Fire Headquarters was open to the public for Grafton Celebrates the
Holidays, offering a Letter to Santa Workshop, Santa Mailbox, a fire
safety video and a tour of the trucks and the fire station. In
addition to educational presentations to the schools, the department
also offers safety programs to Day Care and Preschool facilities, DYS
facilities, group homes and various other groups within Grafton on
request.
