A Message from the Chief

I am honored to be Chief of the Dighton Fire Department having risen through the ranks over the past 27 years. I started as a Call Guy in 1997, appointed in 1998, promoted to Lieutenant in 2006 and was proud to be appointed Chief by the Dighton Board of Selectmen in October 2017. I was raised in this community and am raising a family here now — and am grateful for every day that I can serve my hometown.

I have deep appreciation for the men and women of this fire department and trust their capabilities to serve as role models in this community and execute their duties with integrity and professionalism. From fighting fires to hundreds of annual inspections to our work with schools and seniors, we strive to provide outstanding fire prevention, fire safety, and fire suppression services to the residents of this town.

Chief Christopher J. Maguy
