Fireman's Fuel is a heating oil company from Wakefield. A recent customer who needed a service call at a rented house said the technician spent nearly 2 hours tracking down the cause, examining the oil tank, filter, lines and the hot water heater, then fixed it without leaving a mess. On its BBB page the company describes itself as providing home heating oil delivery and associated services, with online ordering, across towns in the Greater Boston area. A 2026 Google reviewer wrote that website ordering was easy and secure and that delivery came the next day. A 2026 customer said the fuel was delivered within the promised timeline, right before a winter storm. A 2022 customer said they ordered online and the company showed up straight away, and wrote that they had referred friends. A 2025 r/massachusetts commenter wrote that Fireman's Fuel from Wakefield was about 30% lower than Cubby and offered auto delivery. A 2025 r/Somerville commenter recommended the company as straightforward, reasonably priced and reliable. A 2020 r/boston commenter said they used Fireman's Fuel for oil delivery as well as burner servicing. An October 2025 r/somerville commenter said they use Fireman's Fuel, which consistently offers pretty good prices and frequent delivery. In a 2023 review, a customer said the company had always delivered oil promptly and given them the correct amount. The Better Business Bureau grades the company A+ and lists it as accredited, and it holds 3.9 stars from 22 Google ratings. A 2024 Google reviewer gave one star after a boiler service visit. That 2024 customer said the boiler locked out multiple times over the next few days after never having an issue in 6 years, and that the company then wanted $275 an hour to come fix what they broke.
