If you were ever at a West Hartland Fire Department fundraiser, then you knew Lori. And if you knew Lori, you were treated like family. Lori never hesitated to claim her spot at the grill with her memorable laugh, to cook up a storm of burgers and dogs, or to turn her kitchen into a clam fritter production facility, because someone thought they'd be a nice addition at the annual clambake. She was more than just a Chief's Wife, always stepping in to fill any weak spots in the tapestry of our department, and losing her will leave a permanent hole.
Lori, thank you for your unwavering dedication. We'll take it from here.

When it is 15° out, but you scheduled cold water rescue training 2 months ago, what do you do??
You saw a big hole in the ice and go play in the cold water!!
Cold water rescue training focuses on keeping everyone out of the water as much as possible, but rescuers need to know what it feels like to maneuver in our specialized cold water suit (mustang) both in and out of the water, so in the event of an emergency, they are familiar with the equipment and are ready to react! Great job team! It was a great night!

2025 is right around the corner and so is the time to make your New Year's Resolution.
This year, make a commitment to helping your community, through the fire department.
There are so many ways that members of the department make a difference to the community, besides fighting the fires, providing the medical care, driving the trucks, running the pumps, directing the traffic, teaching fire prevention methods, etc...
There is also a need for helping with fundraising, applying for grants, helping on the fireground (but not fighting the fire), and being an auxiliary member.
"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." - Helen Keller.

If you have a little time to give, we would love to have you join us as we work to build a strong and safe community.

You can message us for more information, a tour of the fire house, or to see where you can help the most.

We meet at the fire house (152 Center Street) every Tuesday at 7pm, and would love to have you join us!
