Fire Station History
The fire station, completed in 2005, is located at 801 Jonathan Carver Parkway. The original station was located at 108 Fourth Street East, Old Carver Fire Hall. Built about 1880, it served as the Carver Fire Hall and was used to store fire fighting vehicles and equipment. In the 1880s the Carver Fire Department had regular monthly meetings.

- Three Engines
- One Rescue Truck
- One Tanker
- One Brush Utility
- One Command Vehicle
- One Boat
