The neighbors behind Petersham's volunteer firefighters.
The Petersham Firefighters Association is the nonprofit that stands behind our volunteer fire department: recruiting new members, raising the funds that keep them ready, and bringing the town together on the common.

A town association that keeps its volunteers ready.
The Petersham Firefighters Association is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting the fire prevention and protection services provided by the Petersham Volunteer Fire Department. We promote fire prevention, back effective emergency service and community education, and give our members a way to offer their skills, knowledge, and support to neighbors in need.
We are a registered 501(c)(3) led by a volunteer board of directors. Every dollar and every volunteer hour goes back into a department run by the people who live here.
