Message from the Chief
For over 50 years the members of the Durham Highway Fire Department have provided dedicated and community-based services and programs throughout our district. While our district has significantly changed during this time, our commitment to providing high quality customer-based services has not. Today, 65 dedicated career, part-time, and volunteer staff members continue our tradition of excellence. This is your fire department and I hope that you will stop by and visit, come to one of our community events, or greet our crews while they’re out in the community.
Kind Regards,
David B. McNulty, Chief
