The Town of Chatham has a Wildfire Management Team comprised of the Fire, Water & Sewer ,Health, Park & Recreation and Public Works Departments. The Team is responsible for presenting the plans to the public, requesting approval of the plans by Selectmen and identifying and completing action items in the wildland fire plans.
