The gang down on South St station have been doing some cleaning up. The old round table is no longer needed. Many a story was told around this table .

They are asking if any of the “old timers” might be interested in taking it before they offer it up the the general community.

If history, the story, rumor is correct, this was originally in the Eureka Hook and Ladder firehouse on Elizabeth St. Now home to the American Legion.

If I had the room, I’d take it. 😢

Great stop last night. Keep up the good work.

Right now it's nothing more than an empty space next to the Town’s Transfer Station.

But not for long.

For the last two years, the Ridgefield Professional Firefighters have been working quietly behind the scenes. Raising funds, securing grants, and laying the groundwork for a project that will elevate our training and strengthen our ability to protect this community.

All without costing taxpayers a single dollar.

Stay tuned, Ridgefield.
