With the start of the school year approaching, our office spends a lot of time inspecting our schools to make sure they’re fire safe and ready for your precious cargo!

For the past 3 days, we worked with Dr. Scarpetti and Michael Gray to make sure that all the fire protection systems are current and operating properly, all the exits are clear and ready, and that the classrooms are all set up and safe.

We are happy to inform everyone that the four (4) Orange elementary schools passed with flying colors and are in great shape!

Thank you Dr. Scarpetti and Mr. Gray and their staff for keeping safety at the forefront!

Wishing all your children a fun and safe school year! Oh, and 4th and 5th grade students…. Get ready for the fire safety poster contest. More to come on that!!!

Don’t worry, Amity parents. We’re heading there next! I’m sure we’ll be met with the same success!

The State of Connecticut and local communities rely on the Everbridge System to contact residents in emergency situations. With the hurricane season upon us and a storm brewing in the Atlantic Ocean, now is the perfect time to make sure you stay informed in emergency situations.

If you have not already done so, we are encouraging all residents to register at www.CTALERT.gov . The process only takes a few minutes and allows residents to get both local and statewide alerts on several devices. Residents can choose to receive emails, texts and/or voice messages from the system.

Today’s fire danger level is at “HIGH”. What does that mean!? I’m glad you asked!

This means that conditions are ripe for vegetation and grass fires. As such, even if you have been issued an open burn permit, burning is not allowed until the fire danger level is at moderate or below.

Please remember, you must obtain an open burn permit from our office before you light that really nice fire pit. Also, permits are only good for campfires. You can not use them to dispose of brush on your property.

If you have any questions about what is and/or isn’t allowed, check out or website or give us a call!

Very sad day. Our hearts are saddened by the loss of Firefighter Moreau. Please keep his family and the Plainville Fire Department in your thoughts and prayers.

Plainville Fire Department Line of Duty Death Notification

Plainville, CT
Sunday, July 27, 2025

It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that the Plainville Fire Department announces the Line of Duty Death of Firefighter Raymond “Ray” Alan Moreau.

Ray was tragically lost on the fireground while selflessly serving the Town of Plainville. A proud member of the PFD for 35 years, Ray gave tens of thousands of volunteer hours to our community, always with honor, humility, and an unwavering sense of duty.

Ray joined the Plainville Fire Department in July of 1990. Over his decades of service, he served as Company Treasurer for 15 years, was a dedicated member of the nominating committee, and—together with his beloved wife Chris—was a cornerstone of the PFC Hot Air Balloon Festival. A proud U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Ray exemplified service above self in every aspect of his life.

Ray’s passing marks the third Line of Duty Death in the Department’s history, and the first in over five decades. The entire PFD family is mourning the loss of a truly exceptional man.

Further details on arrangements and memorial services will be shared as they become availablea
