The Andover Volunteer Fire Department provides the small, Eastern Connecticut town of Andover with Fire and EMS service. We are also members of the Tolland County Dive Team. Our territory includes one of the most dangerous roads in America; the 11 mile stretch of Route 6 from Bolton to Columbia, also known as Suicide 6. Don't become a Suicide 6 statistic. Please drive it with care.

Found this article while cruising the World Wide Web. The article is entitled "How to Prevent a House Fire". There's good information in it. And with Winter coming with high heating costs, please heed the steps about heating your home.

Pictures from our December 6th house fire. Thanks to Columbia, Coventry, Bolton, Hebron, and Tolland.

It's pretty sad when the ambulance is called to go into neighborhoods with houses that cost over a half a million dollars and we can't find the caller easily because there's either no house number visible or the number that is there is some cheesy, one inch tall, non-reflective, Wal-Mart special. Our friends, the Hebron Volunteer Fire Department, are offering inexpensive, well-made reflective signs for sale.
The cost for the signs are $12.00 each. And any profit they make goes to the restoration fund for Hebron's first fire truck; a 1937 Ford.
Samples of the signs are available at the Hebron Town Office, the Douglas Library, and Hebron Fire Station #1 on Main Street. Or drive by your Andover Fire Department. You'll see a blue one for the house across the street and a green one for the fire house. You can't miss them. Click here for an order form. And let the folks from Hebron FD know you saw it here. What a great present.
Call 228-3801 or 228-0547 for additional information.
Please number your house so we can find you!

We're always looking for a few good men and women.
The Andover Volunteer Fire Department is looking for members to serve as Firefighters, EMTs, and/or Fire Police. If you are 16 years of age or older, responsible, willing to learn, and hard working, then we need you. Firefighting or EMS experience is not required. We will provide training.
View and print our application in PDF format.

Or, visit us at the firehouse on Wednesday @ 7:30 p.m., drill night. Talk to the members and watch us drill. Check the drill schedule to see what's planned.
