Typical of the town's nature, there are separate fire stations, post offices and libraries in Assonet & East Freetown.  The main police & fire department headquarters building is halfway between the two. The town hall, however, is in Assonet.

Freetown's fire department provides 24-hour ambulance service to the town, and coverage to surrounding communities such as [[Lakeville, Massachusetts|Lakeville]].
