On the morning of October 30th the occupants of 38 Hoskins Road awoke to the sound of their smoke alarm and discovered smoke on the second level in addition to hearing crackling sounds. First arriving units found heavy smoke emitting from the ridge and gable vents, and the soffits. The fire's head start and attic inaccessibility provided for a very labor intensive operation with many ceilings and knee walls having to be pulled to expose all of the fire.                                                                                   See the gallery It is with much regret that the Simsbury Volunteer Fire Company announces the retirement of Captain Rich Driscoll who has served the citizens of Simsbury for over 23 years.

You remembered to set your clock back with daylight savings time but did you remember to change the batteries in your smoke alarm? Smoke alarms are effective but their batteries need to be changed once a year if you expect them to operate when you need them to the most. You can learn more about Smoke Alarms in our Public Fire Education section. Throughout the year our Fire Company hosts and participates in many events within Simsbury and the surrounding communities.
