The Monadnock Area Fire Chief's Association (MAFCA) is made up of chief officers from local fire departments representing the fourteen surrounding towns of the monadnock region. The towns represented include: Antrim, Bennington, Dublin, Francestown, Greenfield, Hancock, Harrisville, Jaffrey, Lyndeborough, Marlborough, New Ipswich, Peterborough, Rindge, and Temple. Also represented is the Monadnock Community Hospital in Peterborough and Southwestern NH District Fire Mutual Aid Dispatch Center in Keene.
This regional organization is committed to working together in areas such as joint training, joint problem solving and cooperative buying in order to cut costs between town departments. Knowing each department's strengths and the support they can provide will better enable towns to work together during Mutual Aid events.
A necessary goal of the MAFCA group is to spread the word of the organization to get local town and state officials to recognize us as a viable, working entity. This can only help strengthen our cause when it comes time to apply for grants and funding. We also strive to establish purchasing power through the organization and to work together to spread the costs of joint-training between our fire departments.
This organization will strengthen and increase communication between fire departments and provide the necessary support for member towns.
This website describes in further detail the functions of our organization.
