Today, members of the department visited Child and Family Daycare and spent some time with the kids. The children got a chance to check out the fire engine and even had the opportunity to spray some water. It was a great way to spend the day, and we always appreciate the chance to connect with the community and teach the next generation a little about what we do.

In Memory of Firefighter Todd Williamson
March 21, 1980 – July 7, 2010

Today, we pause to remember and honor Firefighter Todd Williamson, who passed away on this day in 2010. Todd served with courage, compassion, and unwavering dedication across multiple departments.

Todd was not only a respected professional but a true brother in the fire service. His legacy of service lives on in the lives he touched, the crews he worked beside, and the communities he protected.

Gone but never forgotten.

Last night, the Poquonnock Bridge Fire Department was proud to host the Groton Fire Officers training night.

The focus of the evening was on fundamental, hands-on skills essential to residential firefighting. Firefighters rotated through multiple stations, including:
• Forcible Entry
• Stretching and advancing the initial attack line
• Search maze with obstacles
• Vertical ventilation using extension ladders, roof ladders, and power saws

Each evolution was tailored to the firefighter’s skill level, allowing members to sharpen techniques and build confidence in a realistic, scenario-based setting.

We had a great turnout with participation from Center Groton, Noank, Subase, and Old Mystic Fire Departments. A special thank you to Groton Ambulance for providing standby coverage and to Ring’s End Lumber for generously donating materials for the roof prop.
