Revere Textile Mill Fire March 1, 1980 (Sterling, CT)

Sterling Volunteer Fire Department Sterling, CT

Welcome

The Sterling Volunteer Fire Department serves approximately 3100 residents in the Town of Sterling, which is located in northeastern Connecticut on the Rhode Island border. The company was founded on September 11, 1942 and has been in continuous existence since then. We protect an area that includes a mix of residential, industrial and agricultural uses and operate four pieces of apparatus out of one station.

Currently we respond to approximately one hundred and seventy calls a year, the majority of which are for emergency medical assistance. The bulk of our operating funds is provided by a Fire District imposed tax on the residents and is supplemented by our own fund raising efforts. Our active roster is limited to twenty-five members of which nineteen slots are presently filled. We encourage any resident who might be interested in joining to visit with us to learn what we have to offer and expect in return. There are no gender or age barriers to membership. There are many jobs that must be done at an emergency scene and most everyone can contribute in some way.

Department Patches:  Whether you are a patch collector or the member of a fellow department. We would be happy to send you a Sterling Fire Department Patch. If you do belong to an organization that has a department patch please send us one of yours for our collection.  Just send us your contact information and mailing address and we will get one out to you (See patch above).
