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

It’s perfect weather for a concert and fireworks! The concert will begin around 6:30 and the fireworks are scheduled to go off at 9:30. Please note the following important information:

1. Come and enjoy the professional show. Please leave fireworks at home as they’re not permitted on town property.
2. Starting this afternoon, the rear area of the community center will be closed off to allow for the loading of the fireworks. The only people allowed in the area are emergency responders and the fireworks crew.
3. Signs like the one below will be posted indicating the restricted area. This sign is for all vehicles, dog walkers, disc golf players, and everything in between. I know it doesn’t look like a lot is going on, but there are behind-the-scenes events that require that the area remain clear.
4. Up on the fairgrounds, there are aisles marked by a big “X”. This area is to remain open and clear to provide for access by emergency vehicles in the event we need to assist someone in the expected large crowd. Our CERT crew will be on the fairgrounds making sure this remains unobstructed. If asked to move, please be polite and do so.

Have a great time! Enjoy the show!
