THANK YOU, NORFOLK!

What an incredible day!

On Saturday, August 29, 2026 we had the honor of raising the final truss on the Norfolk Volunteer Fire Department’s new fire station and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate this milestone with our community.

On behalf of the entire Norfolk Volunteer Fire Department, we want to sincerely thank everyone who came out, supported us, encouraged us, and helped make this day so special. Seeing our members, families, friends, town officials, and community supporters gathered together to celebrate was truly meaningful to us.

We are especially grateful to the Town of Norfolk, Board of Selectmen’s Office, Building Committee, contractors, project team, and everyone whose hard work and dedication has brought this project to this point. And, of course, we are incredibly grateful to the people of Norfolk who have continued to stand behind this volunteer fire department throughout our entire journey.

The final truss is now in place, and we are one step closer to calling this home.

This building represents so much more than walls, bays, and a roof. It represents the commitment of this community to its volunteer firefighters and to providing the resources necessary to protect Norfolk for generations to come.

There is still plenty of work ahead, but every milestone brings us closer to the day we can move our apparatus into our new home.

Thank you, Norfolk, for believing in us, supporting us, and helping make this possible. We are incredibly appreciative of each and every person who has played a part in getting us here.

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Pete Marchi, veteran member of the Norfolk Volunteer Fire Department.

Pete joined NVFD in 1983 after previously serving with the Winsted Fire Department’s Union Hose Company. He was a skilled and competent pump operator, the usual pitcher for the department softball team, and always there whenever we had a building project underway.

Pete gave a great deal of his time and talent to this department, and he will be missed by all of us who had the privilege of knowing him and working alongside him.

There will be a private service and burial for family members. Please keep Pete’s family and all those who knew him in your thoughts.

View Peter Marchi's obituary, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.

What an amazing Weekend in Norfolk!

The Norfolk Volunteer Fire Department had a fantastic time spending the weekend with our community. From the bounce house and free popcorn to our junior firefighter hose challenge, firefighter helmets, and NVFD swag, it was wonderful seeing so many smiling faces and meeting friends old and new.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, and a special thank you to the WIN Committee for organizing an outstanding event and inviting us to participate. We are grateful for the continued support of our community and are proud to serve the Town of Norfolk.

Thank You, DripDrop & NVFC!

The Norfolk Volunteer Fire Department is grateful to DripDrop and the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) for selecting us as a recipient of the 2026 DripDrop Hydration Giveback Campaign.

Thanks to their generosity, our department received 200 DripDrop hydration packets to help keep our firefighters hydrated during training, emergency responses, brush fires, and long incidents. Staying hydrated helps keep our crews healthy, safe, and ready to serve our community.

Thank you for supporting volunteer firefighters and first responders!
