FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Raymond Fire Department Announces the Line of Duty Death of Firefighter Eric Phillips

Raymond, New Hampshire — It is with profound sadness that Raymond Fire Chief Jason Grant and the members of the Raymond Fire Department announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Firefighter Eric Phillips, 44, following a medical emergency suffered in the line of duty.

Firefighter Phillips was a valued member of the Raymond Fire Department and had proudly served the Raymond community for the past five years.

During his service, Eric demonstrated the dedication, courage, and compassion that are the hallmarks of the fire service. He was a trusted colleague and friend to the members of the department and a dedicated public servant to the residents of Raymond.

Chief Jason Grant stated, “The Raymond Fire Department is heartbroken by the sudden and unexpected loss of Eric. Eric dedicated five years of his life to serving the people of Raymond, and his commitment to his fellow firefighters and our community will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with Eric’s family, friends, and all those who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him.”

Firefighter Phillips suffered the medical emergency while on a call for service on the evening of September 4, 2026. He was transported to the Exeter Hospital, and despite the efforts of his fellow first responders he died at the hospital.

The Raymond Fire Department extends its deepest condolences to Eric’s family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. The department is also providing support to its members as they come together to grieve the loss of their brother firefighter.

Additional information regarding arrangements and services will be released when appropriate and in consultation with Firefighter Phillips’ family.

Over the past three days Chief Cole and Captain Clark travelled to Ocala Florida to perform an inspection on our new rescue truck. The value of the trip is that any defects noted (there were a few) can be corrected at the factory before the truck is driven up to the dealer for some additional items to be installed and some tools mounted. Thank you to the members who covered town while we were out of the area, stay tuned for more updates on this new piece of apparatus for the Town.

The view from the office wasn’t too bad this morning. Our ladder truck gives us 75’ of reach. Sometimes we need that reach up, sometimes out, and sometimes its a combination of up and out. With the 7 new members that have joined us in the past few months you can expect to see the town’s apparatus out and about more as the older members hone their skills and the new members learn how to operate the apparatus.

We are happy for this outcome, truly the best possible given the potential situation. Woodstock companies cleared the scene shortly after arrival.

This afternoon July 29, 2026 at approximately 2:15PM Lincoln Fire was toned for a 6 year old that was stuck on the other side of the river than his family. Chief Weden immediately requested additional resources from Woodstock Fire Department, NH.

Upon arrival, crews located the child sitting on a rock in the middle of the river. A member of Lincoln Fire was able to successfully make it to the child and then carry him back across the river.
