The Orange Volunteer Fire Department is one of the
remaining few all-volunteer incorporated fire
departments in the State of Connecticut. Active members
are on-call to serve our community on a 24-hour /
seven-day basis, dispatching from two stations: Station
1 at Orange Center Road and Station 2 at Boston Post
Road. During 2009, the
OVFD firefighters responded to 460 alarms with an
average arrival time of less than five minutes.
As a result of exemplary performance and training, OVFD
continues to receive the highest insurance rating for an
all-volunteer department by Insurance Services Office
("ISO"). ISO's expert staff assembles information about
municipal fire-protection efforts in communities
throughout the United States. The rating imposed by ISO
directly influences the determination of homeowner
insurance rates in a community.
