The members of the Poquonnock Bridge Professional Firefighters Union proudly stand shoulder to shoulder with our brothers and sisters of the City of Groton Fire Department as they advocate for the additional staffing their department needs.

This is about firefighter safety.
This is about protecting the community.
This is about making sure that when someone calls 911, enough trained professionals are arriving to handle the emergency safely and effectively.

Staffing saves lives, both the public’s and ours.

We strongly encourage our members, families, and community supporters to show up and make your voices heard.

Just before 5 pm, emergency responders were sent to 66 Midway Oval for a possible structure fire. After receiving several 911 calls, dispatchers upgraded the call to a box plus assignment adding extra units. G38 arrived on the scene and found a working fire on one side of a duplex. G38 transmitted the 1st alarm. The fire was brought under control quickly, and an investigation into its cause is underway by the fire marshals office. The Red Cross is on site to support those who have been displaced from their homes.

While your cleaning up be sure to CLEAR YOUR VENTS!

Snow and ice can accumulate and block exterior exhaust vents from heating appliances and dryers, causing dangerous carbon monoxide build up in your home. Please take a few minutes to keep these areas clear from snow and ice during storms. And always make sure your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are in working condition, testing them monthly.

This simple step can help prevent emergencies.

Stay safe, stay warm!!
