The Fire District 8 Control Point serves as the centralized coordination hub for all fire mutual aid operations within the Massachusetts Fire District 8 region. Operating under the Massachusetts Fire Mobilization Plan, the Control Point is responsible for the activation, tracking, and support of mutual aid resources during major incidents, large-scale emergencies, and regional training exercises.

Housed within the Central Massachusetts Regional 911 District, the Control Point works in close coordination with local fire departments, emergency management agencies, and regional dispatch centers to ensure timely and efficient deployment of apparatus and personnel across the district. The Control Point maintains situational awareness, provides resource status updates, and ensures accountability for all responding units during activations.

Fire District 8 encompasses multiple municipalities in Central Massachusetts and is a vital component in enhancing inter-agency cooperation, improving response capabilities, and strengthening regional emergency preparedness.
