Announcements

As part of the Assistance to Firefighters Grant provided to us via the Federal Emergency Management Agency otherwise known as FEMA, we have received LifePak 35 monitors. You may wonder what these may be for? Well, in the response to medical emergencies, these monitors are utilized to provide high quality high efficiency cardiac care anywhere at anytime. We strive to carry nothing less than state of the art medical equipment for our paramedic providers to provide the highest quality of aid to those in need.

Please come join us for our 4th annual West Haven Fire Expo which will be taking place on Saturday, October 5, 2024 at the Savin Rock Conference Center! This is a great chance for the whole to meet and learn from your public safety heroes!

Address: 6 Rock Street, West Haven, CT, 06516

Time: 11AM-4PM

We’d like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to Clayton Jerzyk, Dana Lewis, and Brendan Carew, each of whom were sworn in last Thursday at Center District headquarters. Three of the newest members of our department, they have begun an intensive 4-month training at the Connecticut State Fire Academy during which they will learn the key skills and methods of firefighting before ultimately graduating in December. We look forward to seeing them on shift in 4 months and warmly welcome them to our ranks.

Members of the Center District were on hand at our Elm Street headquarters Monday, August 5, for a press conference announcing the awarding of a FEMA Federal Assistance to Firefighters Grant which will help enhance both our operations and training. This grant will see us received specialized emergency medical equipment such as cardiac monitors and Automatic External Defibrillators, which will better equip our members to render aid at any medical call we receive. Additionally, this grant will allow members further opportunities to participate in training classes such as Fire Officer and general tactical operations that will serve to further refine our skill set. Amongst the officials present to celebrate the awarding of this grant was Connecticut State Senator Richard Blumenthal
