Last night members participated in our annual live fire training as well as a flashover simulation. Live fire training and demonstrations such as this one help to further educate and understand the behavior of fire keeping our members safe and helping them to be more effective firefighters.

History

A fire extinguisher test at an old hotel, one man;s suggestion and a spontaneous discussion sparked the formation of the Watchung Volunteer Fire Department.

We are so lucky to have people willing to commit to being a contributing part and provide such an essential service that would otherwise be a major expense to our town! The camaraderie, the sense of purpose and of being a well trained person who can really impact one's neighbor in such an important way really changes and benefits the lives of our firefighters too.
