We are now a 100% volunteer fire department!
The City of Stamford has slashed our operating budget 88%
To operate both of our stations: We went from $320,000 to only $40,000!
Additionally, the City of Stamford has removed all of our paid firefighters.
Turn of River Fire Department is fully functional and available to serve you in your time of need. Whether it be a fire, smoke alarm sounding, motor vehicle accident, a medical emergency, or natural disaster, we ARE here to help you!
Turn of River Fire Department would like to thank everyone who attended the North Stamford Association’s public forum: “Who Will Answer the Call?” This was an important public safety forum regarding the fire coverage in your tax district. A special thank you goes out to the North Stamford Association for organizing such an important forum!
TRFD now needs your support to continue to operate effectively!
