Volunteer Recruitment is Underway! If you're interested in becoming a volunteer in Stamford, come down and stop by our station one any Monday evening after 7:00 PM to speak with one of our representatives about joining a department near you! Turn of River Fire Department, Long Ridge Fire Company, Belltown Fire Department, Springdale Fire Company, and Glenbrook Fire Department are all currently accepting applications for new volunteers. It's a great way to give back to your community. Neighbors helping neighbors!

We are now a 100% volunteer fire department!
The City of Stamford previously slashed our operating budget 88% under the Malloy administration. (A budget we are still working under).
To operate both of our stations: We went from $320,000 to only $40,000!
Additionally, the City of Stamford removed all of our paid firefighters.

We remain optimistic, even in the current tough economic times. We are working together with the City to restore proper funding for all fire departments and are working towards a solution to the current issues we are facing.

Turn of River Fire Department is fully functional and available to serve you in your time of need. Whether it be a fire, smoke alarm sounding, motor vehicle accident, a medical emergency, or natural disaster, we ARE here to help you!

TRFD still needs your support to continue to operate effectively!

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

(You can VOLUNTEER or GIVE)

We have provided 80 years of continuous fire protection and received ZERO complaints in that time. Should you have any questions you’d like to ask us please write to questions@trfd.com. If you’d like to inquire of Mayor Malloy why he has slashed our budget to an amount not ample enough to survive this fiscal year, please feel free to call Mayor Malloy at 977-4150 and demand our budget to be fully restored in the interest of public safety!

We are currently looking for volunteers! If you find you are interested in volunteering with us, you may join the ranks of TRFD! Come down to 268 Turn of River Rd. anytime and pick up an application!
