When the SVFD responds to a reported fire within a home our primary concern is for the safety of the residents. If you listen to the radio when there is a call one of the first things that you will hear is a sizeup that includes if all the residents have safely been evacuated from the building. Smoke detectors are a critical component to making sure that everyone is out. Simply put, smoke detectors save lives.

The American Red Cross Connecticut Chapter is making homes fire resistant through the Red Cross Home Fire Preparedness Campaign. At no cost to you, they will demonstrate some simple changes in the home that will help you protect your family against fire. In addition, the Red Cross will install a FREE smoke alarm within your home.
