Volunteer Fire Department

The Washington Volunteer Fire Department was organized in 1926 with one truck, one building and forty-three charter members.

Today the department has grown to nine pieces of apparatus working out of two stations and sixty active members. Working under a Chief, Two Assistant Chiefs, Captain and two Lieutenants, we are an all volunteer department providing fire protection and First Responder capabilities for a town that encompasses the villages of Washington, Washington Depot, Marbledale, New Preston, and Woodville. There are 4,000 full time residents in the town that covers 38.7 square miles.
