Our Mission
The mission of the Dighton Fire Department is to serve and protect our residents from the loss of life and property as efficiently and effectively as possible. We achieve this through our advanced emergency medical services, fire prevention, public education, and fire suppression operations.
The Dighton Fire Department prides itself on having a well-trained, well-equipped, and up to date force that will provide the town with the best emergency services possible. This is achieved by our never wavering desire to advance our knowledge, skills, and tactics with the latest in education and training while doing so with integrity, compassion, and respect.
