We are the proud members of the International Association of Fire Fighters local # 1011. The IAFF was established February 28^th, 1918 and Haverhill was included on February 11^th, 1949.  The Haverhill Fire Fighters, along with all members of the IAFF, accept a self imposed obligation to live by a code of ethics while serving in the line of duty.

Our Code of Ethics

(IAFF#1011 By-Laws 3/2001)

          As a fire fighter and a member of the International Association of Fire Fighters, my fundamental duty is to serve mankind; to safeguard and preserve life and property against the elements of fire and disaster; and maintain a proficiency in the art and science of fire engineering.

          I will uphold the standards of my profession, continually search for new and improved methods and disseminate and share my knowledge and skills with my contemporaries and descendants. 

          I will never allow personal feelings, or danger to self, to deter me from my responsibilities as a fire fighter.

          I will, at all times, respect the property and rights of all men, the laws of my community and my country, and the chosen way of life of my fellow citizens.

          I recognize the badge of my office as a symbol of public faith, and accept it as a public trust to be held so long as I am true to the ethics of the fire service.  I will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating myself before God to my chosen profession—saving of a life, fire prevention and fire suppression.
