The Norwich Fire Department provides fire prevention, fire suppression and rescue services utilizing full-time professional firefighters. These dedicated fire professionals respond from quarters when an emergency occurs.

The response time to an emergency with on-duty firemen in the stations is approximately 2 minutes. When an emergency occurs, every second makes a difference and we pride ourselves on a rapid response with well-coordinated, highly trained crew.
