This week, we spent an evening in the woods conducting trail familiarization and driver/operator training with our UTV. We also reviewed potential access points and response routes that could be used to reach lost or injured hikers in the Rattlesnake Mountain area along the blue trail.

A special thank you to the Hometown Foundation Inc. for their generous donation of our Polaris Ranger which helps us access remote areas and better serve our community.

If you’re out hiking this summer, remember a few simple safety tips:

• Check the forecast before you go.
• Stay on marked trails.
• If you’re hiking alone, make sure you have a designated contact who knows where you’re hiking and when to expect you back. Additionally, establish a time with this person to alert authorities should you be overdue.
• Know your limits. Choose trails that match your fitness level and experience to avoid exhaustion and injury.
• Bring plenty of fuel: snacks and hydration are essential.

Have fun, stay safe, and enjoy Connecticut’s beautiful trails!

Touch-a-Truck at Winding Trails was a hit 🚒

Lots of exploring, climbing through the rigs, and getting an up-close look at everything.

Appreciate Winding Trails, Inc. having Farmington Fire, Tunxis Hose Company No. 1, East Farmington Volunteer Fire Department, Farmington Motor Sports, Farmington CT Police Department (and many other great local businesses) out for the day. Great event all around!

And for some of you, the morning even came with a front-row seat as the crew stepped out to respond to a call in Engine 4 🚒

A special shoutout to our incredible sponsors who helped make it all happen:
• Miss Porter's School
• Daily Grind
• Wade's Dairy Inc.
• The Riverview
• FLIK Independent School Dining

Engine 4 from the Farmington Fire Department had a great time attending the Town of Farmington’s 48th Annual Spring Celebration for the Touch-A-Truck event hosted by the Farmington Polo Club! 🚒

Several hundred kids (and plenty of adults!) stopped by to check out the truck, climb inside, and even sit in the driver’s seat. It was great seeing so many smiling faces and future firefighters in the making!

If you or someone you know is interested in joining our department, we’d love to hear from you. No experience? No problem — we provide all the training you need to become a firefighter or EMT and serve your community in a meaningful way.
