For Emergencies Dial 911

The Canterbury Fire Department consists of 1 person on duty every weekday excluding holidays from 0730-1600. There is a part time fire chief who works 3 days a week and who oversees the operation of the department. We also rely on call and per diem firefighters to supplement our response capabilities during the day and to answer calls on weekends or after hours.
