New London's first fire engine was placed in service in 1767 with the first Engine Company being established in 1786.  In 1805, the Connecticut Legislature empowered New London to establish a Fire Department.  Between 1802 and 1922, numerous Companies were formed, disbanded and reorganized.  Today, the Fire Department is a career department, manning three Engines, two Trucks and two Ambulances located in three fire stations.  A shift supervisor, three station officers and fourteen Firefighters staff each of the four work groups.
