The Andover Volunteer Fire Department provides the small, Eastern Connecticut town of Andover with Fire and EMS service. We are also members of the Tolland County Dive Team. Our territory includes one of the most dangerous roads in America; the 11 mile stretch of Route 6 from Bolton to Columbia, also known as Suicide 6. Don't become a Suicide 6 statistic. Please drive it with care.

Pictures from our December 6th house fire. Thanks to Columbia, Coventry, Bolton, Hebron, and Tolland.

Click here to see what the forest fire danger is. Remember, even if you have a permit (you do have a permit, don't you?), you still have to check before you burn.

It's pretty sad when the ambulance is called to go into neighborhoods with houses that cost over a half a million dollars and we can't find the caller easily because there's either no house number visible or the number that is there is some cheesy, one inch tall, non-reflective, Wal-Mart special. We are offering inexpensive, well-made reflective signs for sale.
The cost for the signs with brackets are $12.00 each. $10.00 without brackets. Drive by your Andover Volunteer Fire Department and you'll see a blue one for the house across the street and a green one for the fire house. You can't miss them. Contact Mindy (860-706-3074) or Carrie (860-798-7448 for an order form or stop by the fire house any Wednesday evening. What a great present.
Please number your house so we can find you!
