This section is dedicated to the current and former apparatus of the Hazardville Fire Department. We started with a steam engine in the 1890's and currently have a tower ladder, 3 engines, a staff vehicle and an EMS fly car. A lot has changed since 1892, and we hope to be able to show you all, or atleast most, of the apparatus that has loyaly served the fire district since it's inception. Any of the photos can be enlarged to their scanned size by right clicking the mouse and choosing view image from the menu.
