The Tolland Fire Department, Inc. has been providing fire protection for the Town of Tolland since 1933. Today, the men and women who volunteer their services as Firefighters, Emergency Medical Technicians, Medical Response Technicians or Fire Police officers work closely with six paid Firefighter/EMT’s in a modern combination department that provides the highest possible level of fire, ambulance and emergency medical service for the town’s residents and businesses. These volunteers hope you will find the items on this web site helpful and informative!

Tolland Fire Department Memorial Dedication
January 18, 2010

The Tolland Fire Department dedicated our new Memorial to honor the bravery, sacrifice, service and dedication of two of its members as well as the members who serve today. January 18, 2010 marks the 20th anniversary of the death of Lt. Gary M. Passaro, a volunteer member of the Tolland Fire Department who died during a training exercise in 1990. Lt. Passaro's death was the first loss of a member in the line of duty. The site will also commemorate the passing of the departments long time photographer James Cooke, who died in 2001 after returning from the scene of a fire. This site also recognizes the day to day sacrifice and commitment of all the men and women who serve their community in the fire service as both career professionals and volunteers.

A committee of both former and current members of the Tolland Fire Department oversaw the project. The memorial was designed by Jeff Hutton of Earthworks Landscaping of Tolland who also constructed the site and donated much of the labor. The site was funded solely through gifts and donations.
