The Ellington Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. was organized in 1928.  We are a proud to recognize over 80 years of providing the Town of Ellington and its citizens with the finest possible volunteer emergency fire and rescue services.

The Ellington Volunteer Fire Department's mission is the protection and preservation of life and property during fire and other emergencies in the Town of Ellington; To honor all emergency calls, and to support fire prevention education activities.

Currently the Ellington Volunteer Fire Department is rated by the Insurance Service Organization (ISO) as a class 5/9.  During the past several years, the types of incidents, their added frequency and growth, the town has demanded increased levels of training, equipment and expertise in new technologies by our volunteers.  The greatest care and concern are given to those who become injured.  The most up to date rescue tools and techniques are used to extricate those who have become injured as the result of a motor vehicle or industrial accident.  Our rescue personnel work with the Ellington Ambulance to provide the best possible care for the injured. For those patients in need of advanced life support or trauma team services, the Rockville General Hospital Paramedic unit, frequently supported by the LifeStar Helicopter transport team, are requested.
