Sugar Hill Fire Department

This article is a direct street report from our correspondent and has not been edited by the 1st Responder newsroom.

Sugar Hill is a small town in New Hampshire, recognized as the "newest" town, having been incorporated in 1962. The name of the town is derived from the large groves of sugar maples that grow within its boundaries. This quintessential New England village offers stunning views of the Presidential, Franconia, Kinsman, and Dalton mountain ranges, making it one of the most scenic places to visit in Northern New England. A trip to Sugar Hill is not complete without a visit to Polly's Pancake Parlor. Come for the view, stay for the pancakes!


With a population of under 700, the town is served by a fire department that has a twenty-one-member call force, under the command of Chief Allan Clark. This department is part of the Twin State Fire Mutual Aid Association, which includes personnel and equipment from 22 neighboring towns in Vermont and New Hampshire. The fire fleet consists of two identical pumpers, one tanker, and a light-duty rescue vehicle. The Franconia Life Squad provides emergency medical services. The department's mascot is a 1939 Ford antique fire truck, referred to as "Engine 2."
