Woodstock Volunteer
Fire Association
Mutual Aid
WVFA relies on
neighboring fire departments for assistance with
extra personnel and equipment on larger scale fires
and rescues. This is common practice for most area
departments particularly with daytime shortage of
personnel and more complex equipment.
WVFA’s neighboring
departments within the town of Woodstock are:
Muddy Brook
Fire Department (to the north) supplying
additional tanker and pumper support. Also supplied
by Muddy Brook is “heavy rescue” equipment such as
extricating equipment and air bags.
Bungay Fire Brigade
(to the west) supplying additional tanker and
pumper support. Bungay also has additional rescue
ability with it’s extrication equipment and a boat
for water rescue.
WVFA’s other
mutual aid departments outside the town of Woodstock
are:
Putnam Fire
Department (to the east) supplying
additional pumper support and “heavy rescue”
including “jaws of life”. Putnam also has a 100’
aerial ladder.
Pomfret Fire
