After a two-year legal battle between Montville Professional Firefighters Local 3386 and the Town of Montville, a final ruling was issued by the Connecticut Appellate Court in favor of the Firefighters.

Directly following the ruling, the Mayor made the determination to put two firefighters at Oakdale Co. 4 and Mohegan Co. 2 24/7 a move focused on providing the best possible emergency coverage for the residents of Montville. Our union agreed that staffing both Oakdale and Mohegan districts with our current staffing levels is in the best interest of the town, public safety and the firefighters who respond everyday to protect this community.

Despite this progress and clear path forward for improved coverage just days later the town council voted down the firefighters union contract.

Our members remain committed to serving this town with professionalism, dedication and pride. We will continue advocating for fair treatment proper staffing and the resources needed to keep both our firefighters and community safe.
