Welcome to the Woodbridge Fire Website!
The Woodbridge Fire Department and Woodbridge Volunteer Fire Association provides fire suppression and rescue services to the Town of Woodbridge, Connecticut.
Busy Holiday Week
During the period from July 1st to July 4th, Woodbridge Fire responded to seven calls for service. Among them were calls for a serious motor vehicle accident involving a snapped utility pole, and a mutual aid call to assist Orange Fire Department with a commercial building fire on the Boston Post Road. On July 4th, Woodbridge Fire responded to a structure fire on October Hill Road. While there was damage to the structure, the fire was contained to one area of the home.
Memorial Day Ceremony 2009
Every year the WVFA honors their deceased members at a solemn ceremony on the green in front of the old Fire Station. This year we honored Past Chief Bob Dunn, George Dingwall, and Phil Vetro who, respectively, had 30 years, 25 years, and 56 years of dedicated service to our Town. We also had the pleasure of one of our younger members, Pvt. AJ Anderson USMC, a recent graduate from basic training, in his dress blues uniform adding another gesture of patriotism and dignity to our service. In all, the ceremony honored twenty nine deceased members who provided a total of 904 years of service.
Ice Rescue Training
The Bethany and Woodbridge Fire Departments conducted joint Ice Rescue training on Sunday February 8th. Over 40 firefighters participated in the training which was composed of both shore support and "in the water" ice rescue evolutions. Over 30 firefighters performed the five "in the water" ice rescue evolutions.
Holiday Visits
The Woodbridge Volunteer Fire Association makes many visits during the holidays. One of the stops we make each year is to visit the residents and staff of The Willows. Shown above is Santa Claus accepting a donation from the residents in memory of Phil Vitro, a WVFA member who had been a resident at The Willows.
