(August 14, 2022) — Haddam Volunteer Fire Company would like to thank everyone who stopped by Saturday for our open house and touch-a-truck! We’d also like to thank our guests— Connecticut State Police, Haddam Volunteer Ambulance Service, Inc. and the Haddam Volunteer Fire Company Auxiliary.
Open house attendees received tours of HVFC’s Engine 6-13, Brush 12-13, Marine-13, Rescue 5-13, and Utility Vehicle 8-13, along with two ambulances, a police vehicle, and K-9 unit. Participants learned about the police’s underwater sonar equipment, how firefighters use various tools to make forced entries, and how to fill and use portable water tanks to extinguish brush fires.
Children also participated in a trivia game/scavenger hunt for prizes and tried donning firefighting gear.”We were really pleased with the turn out,” said Captain Josh Meyer. “It was a fun day for many families, and we hope to turn this into a annual event for the community.”
