Description

Beginning in 1769, Norwich inhabitants started fire protection with the usage of water buckets and a hand-actuated piston pump named the Torrent. Within the early 1800s, the will for an organized fire service lead the way for the primary fire companies of the downtown area. A period of rapid growth followed, and the Norwich Fire Department absorbed the Greeneville Fire Department underneath one title and one chief. These days the career firefighters of the Norwich Fire Department continue to build upon its wealthy and historic tradition of service to the Town Consolidated District. Norwich Firefighting is a pictorial tribute to this honorable department.
