Fire Fighter Detail

Please contact the EHS Occupational & Construction Safety Program (OCSP) (safety@mit.edu) if you want to pursue an event plan that may require a firefighter detail. The EHS Safety Program will work with the event planner before we contact our Fire Dept. liaison about the details of the safety plan for your event. The need for a fire detail will be handled during the normal review process. We work with our liaisons at both the Cambridge and Boston Fire Departments. The Cambridge Fire Dept requests that MIT staff/students and vendors work through EHS OCSP first.

To schedule a Cambridge firefighter detail for hot work (NOT for events)–complete the web form. We highly recommend that you include all of your billing information on the CFD webform so they send the invoice to the correct office. The MIT event planner must complete the webform, not the vendor. The details can no longer be scheduled in person or via email. Please send the auto-reply from the CFD web site to the person in your DLC who will pay the invoice. You may have to email your billing information to the Fire Detail Office at firedetail@cambridgefire.org or call them at (617) 349-4990.
