The Fire Department provides many services to the town that includes Fire Suppression, Rescue, Emergency Medical Service, Hazardous Material Mitigation, and Emergency Management Functions.

 

Litchfield Fire Rescue is a combination fire department (career and paid on-call staff).  The department is comprised of two (2) full time Firefighters, a part time Fire Chief, a part time Fire Inspector, and approximately forty (40) On-call Firefighters.

 

The Litchfield Fire Rescue Station is located at 257 Charles Bancroft Highway, and is staffed with two (2) Firefighters on duty from the hours of 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, five (5) days a week (Monday-Friday, excluding Town Holidays).

 

During the evening hours after 4:00 PM and on weekends, Call Firefighters respond to the station from their homes or other locations to get the appropriate emergency vehicle/s and then respond accordingly.

 

These men and women dedicate a significant amount of time and effort to make sure that the Town of Litchfield is provided with the best possible service. Firefighter/EMTs go through several hundreds of hours of initial training to become certified as Firefighters and EMTs.  Firefighters and EMS personnel attend 2 fire trainings and 1 EMS training each month.   Also, most of our members take several additional courses above and beyond minimum requirements to be better equipped to serve this community.  Their commitment to training requires additional time away from home to make sure their high skill level is maintained for you, your family, and visitors to our town.
