This afternoon the Nichols Fire Department was dispatched to the Town of Stratford mutual aid for an outside gas grill on fire on Fermwood Rd. Nichols Car 1 Chief Kingsbury arrived on scene and reported that the fire was out. Nichols Squad 309 arrived shortly after and assisted with checking the grill out for issues. Units cleared and were then detailed to Stratford FD HQ for coverage. While in route there Squad 309 and Chief Kingsbury were sent to an MVA on Greenfield St. with injuries. Squad 309 established a block for scene safety and evaluated the driver of one car for injuries. Patient care was transferred to Stratford EMS and units then went to Stratford HQ. All NFD units were released from coverage at 1635 hours. #NicholsFire ... See MoreSee Less

Operation Save A Life

Today Trumbull Fire Officials participated in Operation-Save-A-Life fire prevention campaign held at the New Haven Regional Fire School in New Haven, Connecticut. The event, which is sponsored by WTNH News 8, Kidde, Home Depot, JP Maguire, and Everyday Heroes CT kicked off the Operation Save-a-Life campaign in Connecticut.

During the event employees from The Home Depot and WTNH-News 8 distributed 5000 smoke detectors and 1000 CO alarms to local fire departments for use in their community fire prevention programs. All of the smoke detectors feature 10 year batteries and all were donated by Kidde. Because the battery is sealed inside these 10-year sealed-battery smoke alarms, the hassle of low-battery chirps and battery replacement is eliminated for the life of the unit. This design also reduces the risk of an inoperable smoke alarm due to missing batteries; important because NFPA reports three out of five home fire deaths occur in homes without alarms or without working alarms.

Operation Save-a-Life is committed to reduce the number of fire deaths and injuries. Many of these injuries and deaths are attributed to a non-working smoke or carbon monoxide detector. A key factor in a non-working detector is a missing or dead battery.

On Sunday, November 4th we change the clocks back one hour to Eastern Standard Time. Trumbull Fire Officials encourage those with replaceable batteries in their smoke and CO detectors to use this time to replace the batteries in these detectors.

October is Fire Prevention Month. Please practice fire safety in your home and place of business. Thank you!
