The Island Pond Fire Station is located at 190 Warner Hill Road, near historic Taylor Mill at Ballard State Forest and Big Island Pond. The daily staffing includes a three-person Advanced Life Support (ALS) Engine Company that cross staffs an ALS Medic Unit (ambulance), Forestry Tanker, Forestry Unit and a Marine Unit.

The Station was opened 1978 (click slideshow link above) following a community push for increased fire protection in the Island Pond region. 

The community that the station primarily protects is mostly residential; however there is a commercial district on Rte. 111. Big Island Pond is a 500 acre water body located in the towns of Derry, Atkinson, and Hampstead. Home to year-round and seasonal residents, Big Island Pond offers a wide variety of recreational opportunities such as swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, motor boating and water skiing. The Island Pond Station house a Marine Unit which allow the department to respond to emergencies on the water. 

In addition to emergencies, Island Pond personnel regularly inspect local businesses, issue and enforce burning permits, respond to requests for public education at East Derry Memorial School, and provide Station tours upon request.
