This past Month, the Bloomfield Center Fire Department with friends and family had the privilege of recognizing four dedicated members whose service has left a lasting impact on our department and our community.

We gathered to celebrate and thank Ben Cook, Captain Mark Sperandio, Lieutenant Kellan Boudreau, and Assistant Chief Jim Simone as they move on from the Bloomfield Center Fire Department.

Each of these members has devoted countless hours answering alarms, training fellow firefighters, serving our residents, and helping make our department stronger. Their commitment, professionalism, and friendship have left a legacy that will not be forgotten.

While we are sad to see them leave, we are incredibly grateful for everything they have given to the department over the years. We wish each of them continued success, happiness, and safety in the next chapter of their lives.

On behalf of the officers, members, and the entire Bloomfield Center Fire Department family:

Thank you, Ben, Mark, Kellan, and Jim, for your dedication and selfless service. You will always have a place here in Bloomfield. Once a member of the Bloomfield Center Fire Department, always part of the family.

Please join us in thanking these four outstanding firefighters for their years of service and wishing them all the best in their future endeavors. 🚒

🌧️ HEAVY RAINFALL HAS CREATED FLOODED ROADWAYS ACROSS BLOOMFIELD 🌧️

Today’s rainfall has led to areas of standing water and localized flooding throughout Bloomfield, including roads, parking lots, and sidewalks.

🚨 TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN. 🚨

Just because you can see the road doesn’t mean it’s safe to drive through it. Floodwaters can:
💧 Hide washed-out pavement and debris.
🚗 Stall or sweep away your vehicle.
⚡ Pose unseen electrical hazards.

If you encounter a flooded roadway:
➡️ Turn around and find another route.
➡️ Slow down near standing water to prevent creating dangerous waves for other motorists and pedestrians.
➡️ Never walk through moving floodwater.

Our crews are monitoring conditions and responding to weather-related incidents as needed. Help us keep everyone safe by making smart decisions behind the wheel.

Stay alert, slow down, and remember:

🌊 TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN. 🌊

If you experience an emergency or encounter a dangerous situation, call 9-1-1.

This morning, firefighters will be training with truck_tactics for their aerial truck tactics course. You may see us around town with our Tower 1, practicing our skills and pre planning some key areas in our district. This type of training is invaluable to help us better serve the people of Bloomfield! Feel free to say hello and as always thank you to our volunteers for taking time out of their morning to become the best firefighters they can be.

🌫️ NOTICE TO THE BLOOMFIELD COMMUNITY 🌫️

If you’ve noticed a smoky smell or hazy skies today, there’s no need to be alarmed. The smoke is drifting into our area from the ongoing Canadian wildfires and is affecting air quality throughout much of the Northeast.

At this time, there are no large fires in Bloomfield causing the haze.

While the smoke may create reduced visibility and a noticeable odor, residents—especially children, older adults, and those with asthma, COPD, or other respiratory conditions—should consider limiting prolonged outdoor activity until air quality improves.

Here are a few simple precautions:
🔥 Keep windows and doors closed if the smoke becomes heavy.
🏃 Limit strenuous outdoor exercise when the air appears smoky.
💧 Stay hydrated.
🚒 Call 911 immediately if you see smoke or fire that appears to be originating within our community—don’t assume it’s related to the wildfires.

The Bloomfield Center Fire Department will continue to monitor conditions and respond to any emergencies as always.

Stay safe, stay informed, and thank you for helping keep our community safe.

Last night at approximately 10:08PM, the Bloomfield Center Fire Department was dispatched as part of a Task Force 52 activation to assist the Enfield Fire Department with a working structure fire in Enfield, Connecticut.

Task Force 52 is a regional mutual aid team made up of the following departments:
🚒 Blue Hills Fire Department, Bloomfield, CT
🚒 Bloomfield Center Fire Department
🚒 Windsor Locks Fire Department
🚒 South Windsor FIRE Department
🚒Windsor Volunteer Fire Department - CT
🚒 East Granby Vol. Fire Department
🚒 Suffield CT Fire Department
🚒 Bradley Fire Department
🚒 Connecticut Air National Guard Fire Department

Responding crews initially staged at the Enfield Square Mall before being assigned to either the fire scene or town coverage while Enfield companies remained committed to the incident.

With Enfield’s Fourth of July fireworks celebration taking place, the area was filled with residents and visitors, making the incident even more challenging for first responders.

Bloomfield’s crew was assigned the critical role of Rapid Intervention Team (RIT), standing by to immediately rescue any firefighter who became lost, trapped, or injured while operating inside the structure. Fortunately, their services were not needed, allowing firefighters on scene to safely complete their operations.

After assisting our neighboring community, Bloomfield firefighters returned home at approximately 1:30 AM, ready to answer the next call for service.

Thank you to all of the firefighters and emergency personnel who worked together to protect life and property through regional cooperation. Mutual aid partnerships like Task Force 52 ensure that our communities receive the resources they need when large-scale emergencies occur.

🎆🇺🇸 Celebrate Safely This Independence Day! 🇺🇸🎆

As we gather with family and friends to celebrate the 4th of July, the Bloomfield Fire Marshals Office would like to remind everyone that safety should always come first.

Whether you’re attending a fireworks display, grilling with loved ones, or enjoying time outdoors, taking a few simple precautions can help prevent fires and injuries.

🔥 Remember:
• Leave fireworks to the professionals.
• Keep grills away from homes, decks, and anything that can burn.
• Keep children and pets a safe distance from fireworks and open flames.
• Have a bucket of water or garden hose nearby when using legal novelty fireworks.
• Test your smoke alarms and make sure your family has an escape plan.

Let’s work together to keep our community safe so everyone can enjoy a fun and memorable holiday!

From all of us at the Bloomfield Fire Marshals Office, we wish you and your family a safe, happy, and healthy Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙

It’s been a while since we’ve done a throwback Thursday! Check out this photo of the fleet from decades ago, parked in front of Company 1, which at that time faced out towards Wintonbury Avenue. Can you guess the year/decade?
