Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Robert T. Kilduff who tragically killed in the line of duty tonight at a 3 alarm fire on Treadway Road. May he rest in peace and always be remembered.

This morning, we joined forces with @Framingham_MA to break ground on the new Framingham Firefighter Memorial at FFD Headquarters. The permanent tribute will feature a 6-foot bronze firefighter statue to honor those who served our city with courage and distinction.

Today, we salute the heart of the FFD family. 🚒
It’s more than a uniform; it’s the courage to run toward what others run from.

To our members: Thank you for your steadfast dedication. We stand united. We stand strong. We stand for each other.

Deputy Smith's legacy of service continues to inspire, shining on through his son, Firefighter Mike Smith, who has followed in his footsteps and proudly serves with us.

We pause to honor the memory of Captain John F. Costanza, a dedicated Framingham firefighter who made the ultimate sacrifice 47 years ago today, as he battled a house fire at 337-339 Concord Street. We'll always remember his bravery & commitment to protecting others.

Happy International Women’s Day!💜

Today, we’re proud to celebrate the incredible women of the FFD. From the front lines to behind the scenes, these professionals bring skill, courage, and dedication to our community every single day. Please join us in honoring them.

Earlier this week, crews responded to 15 Howard Street for reports of heavy smoke in the area. Thanks to the swift actions of our Group 4 firefighters, the incident was quickly brought under control. Great work by all involved in keeping our community safe!

[Framingham Fire Department @FraminghamFire]

This morning, Framingham firefighters responded to a report of a vehicle that struck a building at 959 Concord St. Thankfully, no injuries were reported. While the impact caused significant damage to the façade and two windows, there was no structural compromise to the building.

Today, we bid a fond farewell to Fire Mechanic James Babineau as he begins his well-deserved retirement. For nearly 15 years, Jimmy has been a crucial part of FFD, working behind the scenes to keep our apparatus & vehicles safe & operational. We wish him a long, happy retirement!

[Framingham Fire Department @FraminghamFire]

Sending out a huge thanks to our residents who have taken the time to shovel out fire hydrants! ❄️ Your help saves critical seconds. Our crews have also been out clearing them daily, but this community teamwork truly keeps Framingham safe. Thanks for having our backs!🚒💪

[Framingham Fire Department @FraminghamFire]

After 28+ years of dedicated service to FFD and the Framingham community, we congratulate Firefighter Brian “Morgie” Morgan on his retirement. From the Technical Rescue Team to the Honor Guard, he served with pride and distinction. Enjoy a long, healthy, happy retirement!
