Volunteer Firefighter

The Bozrah Volunteer Fire Company is continuously seeking personnel interested in joining our team serving our growing community! We provide Fire Protection & Emergency Medical Services for the Town of Bozrah and surrounding communities. Our First Due response area covers over 20 square miles and includes Route 2, several bodies of water, two seasonal campgrounds, an industrial park and the villages of Fitchville, Leffingwell, and Gilman.

We operate out of a single station located in the North end of town and are equipped with a compliment of Fire Apparatus and equipment to mitigate almost any Emergency. The Bozrah Volunteer Fire Company consists of Firefighters, Emergency Medical Responders & Technicians, Fire Police, Cadets and auxiliary members. The department also trains and operates as a "R.I.T." team which is called to other towns for the critical task of the search and rescue of other firefighters who become distressed.
