Tolland Fire would like to wish everyone a Happy, Tolland Fire would like to wish everyone a Happy, Healthy, and Safe Thanksgiving! Please take a moment to read this important Thanksgiving fire safety information from National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

Tolland Fire is pleased to announce that the recen Tolland Fire is pleased to announce that the recent rain has allowed for the fire danger to remain low. The statewide burn ban and state of emergency was also officially lifted yesterday by Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP). Therfore, effective immediately, Tolland residents are allowed to responsibly enjoy outdoor fires once again. This includes issuing, and the contiuation of, burn permits for the burning of brush. The decision comes following updates from state officials and fire weather forecasts. If you do have an outdoor fire, we ask everyone to continue practicing fire safety best practices by following the following guidance: • Always have water or a fire extinguisher nearby. • Never leave a fire unattended, and if you do leave it unattended, fully extinguish the fire before leaving. • Follow local burning policies for safety and for permits. • Dispose of ashes safely by cooling and placing in a non combustible container with a lid that seals. Keep away from flammable combustibles. • Avoid creating sparks near dry vegetation or combustibles. For more information on the town's burn permit policy, please follow the following link: https://www.tollandct.gov/fire-marshal/pages/burn-permit-process-electronic-application For any questions on outdoor fires, please follow the link to the DEEP website for open burning: https://portal.ct.gov/deep/air/open-burning/open-burning We thank all our residents for their patience and cooperation during the burn ban and extreme fire risk. Your efforts have helped keep our community safe!

However, we are recommending that the burn ban and state of emergency remain in place until at least Monday to allow for a few days of monitoring to ensure conditions remain stable and do not revert to a higher risk level. We will reassess the situation on Monday once the updated fire danger and drought index is released. We will provide further information at that time. Please no open burning and be careful not to produce any sparks outside! If you see a fire, call 911 immediately.

We regret to announce the passing of Honorary Memb 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! https://www.carmonfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Malcolm-Matt-Ellsworth-Matthews?obId=33693678
