We regret to announce the passing of Honorary Member Malcolm "Mal" Matthews. Mal joined the Tolland Fire Department in 1955 and served as a firefighter, vice president, member of the standing committee, and a member of the first fire apparatus committee which purchased the department's first "Class A" pumper (ET40) from Farrar Fire Apparatus. He was a principal driver out of the former Dunn Hill Road firehouse and brought his sense of humor to the department, making everyone smile. Mal retired in 1974. The photo below was taken last October when Honorary Member Matt Ostien and current Fire Lieutenant Joe Duval, Jr., took Mal (second from right) for a ride in ET-40, one of Tolland’s retired apparatus, and one that he drove and helped build in the 1960's. Mal, may you rest in peace, and we thank you for your service to the Tolland community!

Attention Tolland residents: Per the order of the

Attention Tolland residents: Per the order of the Tolland Fire Marshal & Director of Public Safety, the Town of Tolland has placed a ban on all outside fires which includes campfires, outdoor grills, fire pits, and other open flame fires until the extremely high fire danger is removed by State of Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP). Tolland has responded to several outside fires over the last few weeks and until the emergency ban is removed by DEEP there will be no open burning, no burning permits issued, and no type of outside fire of any kind fire allowed in Tolland.  Any current burning permits are also suspended.

The colder weather is here and it is that time of the year when many residents start their wood stoves or fireplaces.  Many have been known to dump their ashes outside which has caused several fires in the past. We are reminding residents to please dispose of wood ashes in a metal bucket and soak the ashes with water before dumping them outside. These fires are very fast moving, difficult to control, and can easily cause significant damage to your homes and personal property.

If you see a fire, call 911 immediately. The Tolland Fire Department will  extinguish all fires.

Tomorrow night, we will be changing our clocks backward for daylight savings. This is a good time to change your smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm batteries and check to see if your alarms are out of date. It is recommended that Smoke Alarms be replaced every 10 years and Carbon Monoxide Alarms be replaced every 7 years in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. The date the alarm was manufactured is on the back of the alarm. This is also a perfect time to test the alarms and practice your escape plan!
