Prescribed Burn Barn Island

The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Forestry Division is planning to conduct a controlled burn at Barn Island Wildlife Management Area today, Tuesday April 21st. This burn will be limited to approximately 10 acres. The goal is two fold in that the burn will lower the risk of wildfires by reducing the amount of burnable vegetation in the area and to help limit the spread of invasive plants.
Please try and avoid the parking area off of Palmer Neck Rd during the morning and afternoon hours while the burn takes place as access may be limited at times.
Thank you

Happy International Women’s Day to all the First Responder Women out there serving!

03/07/2026

On March 7, 2026, Stonington Volunteer Ambulance was dispatched on mutual aid to assist the Old Mystic Fire District at a devastating house fire on Lantern Hill Road. Our ambulance was requested to standby while multiple firefighters and first responders worked to control the incident.

EMS plays an integral role at emergencies like this, ensuring that medical care is immediately available if a firefighter, responder, or civilian is injured. Having EMS on scene allows crews to focus on their tasks knowing medical support is ready if needed.

We are always proud to assist our neighboring agencies and stand ready to help whenever the call comes.

Please keep the family in your thoughts as they face this difficult time in their lives. There has been a local Go Fund Me created to assist this family in need. 🙏🏻
