Easton Fire District No. 1

The Easton Fire District #1, Inc. is separate and independent of the Town of Easton.  As a courtesy, financial statements are available at the Town Clerk’s office.
 

On January 8, 1948, the Easton Fire District No. 1, Inc. was created under and pursuant to the General Statutes of the State of Connecticut, as amended, to provide fire protection and to raise taxes to pay for such protection.  The Fire District is defined as those Easton properties lying within 1,000 feet of the water mains of the Aquarion Water Company (Bridgeport Hydraulic Company).  With increased development in Easton, the water system and the District was extended to include contiguous areas.  It is expected that the availability of fire hydrants will have a favorable effect on insurance costs as well as more certain supplies of water to fight fires.

The Fire District is operated by its own Officers, Clerk, Treasurer, Tax Collector and Assessor elected at its annual meeting in late June each year when the mill rate is established.  Notice of this meeting is published in a newspaper of record in the Town of Easton.
