First Annual Toy Drive

Several members braved the cold weather and stood outside the Town Hall from noon until 8pm in rain, snow, and very cold conditions for the sake of local children. They collected $462.00 in cash and over 100 toys. The cash will be used to purchase more toys for local children whose families have come upon hard times. Good job guys...

TT and Bus Extrication class in Voluntown

Some members of the Jewett City Fire Dept recently took a Tractor Trailer and Bus extrication class. The class was hosted by the Voluntown Fire Dept. and held by the CT Fire Academy. Numerous Dept's attended and learned about TT accidents and bus accidents, which have become all too familiar in our area in the past few years. They gained the knowledge to stabilize the large equipment and extricate patients involved in these accidents.

VEHICLE EXTRICATION TRAINING

One of our members donated a car to us for training. Crews popped doors, cut the windshield, cut all posts and peeled roof away. Also used the rams to lift the dashboard. Gave all extrication tools a good workout and turned out to be a really good training.










MVA ROLLOVER I395 ACCESS ROAD

The Jewett City Fire Dept. along with Griswold Ambulance and the State Police responded to this rollover. DEP also had to be called due to the fuel tank and oil pan being ruptured. The vehicle landed sideways in a gulley used as a drain for I395 runoff. The patient was not injured.
