New Fairfield Volunteer Fire Department

The town of Fairfield is protected by the 95 career firefighters of the Fairfield Fire Department (FFD), and volunteer firefighters of the Southport Volunteer Fire Department and Stratfield Volunteer Fire Department. The career Fairfield Fire Department operates five fire stations, located throughout the town, and uses a fire apparatus fleet of five engine companies, one ladder company, one rescue company, three fireboats, and 1 Shift Commander's Unit, as well as many special support, and reserve units. Each of the seven frontline pieces of fire apparatus is staffed by a total of three firefighters, except the shift commander's car which is staffed by an Assistant Chief and a chief's aide. The volunteer fire departments share quarters with the career firefighters at two of the Fire Stations, but only occasionally staff their apparatus and respond to calls. The volunteer fire departments operate a rescue unit, a tactical support unit, and a pumper-squad. The combined career and volunteer fire departments respond to approximately 9,500 emergency calls annually. The Southport Volunteer Fire Department has served the community since 1895. The Fairfield Fire Department has several stations and has served the community since 1920.
