Description
For over 80 years, our members have been serving our community by providing fire suppression, fire prevention, and rescue services to the residents and visitors of The Town of East Granby. Over the years, our mission has changed to not only include firefighting but also responding to hazardous materials incidents, motor vehicle accidents, aircraft emergencies, as well as supporting neighboring towns with mutual aid support. The membership maintains our fleet of emergency vehicles and equipment, so we are always prepared to handle any situation we are faced with.

We are proud of our ability to provide first class services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This is not an easy task. Our members are required to train constantly and keep abreast of changes in our industry, so we can continue to be a leader in emergency services.
