The department was formed on May 12, 1903 as the Noroton Heights Fire Engine Company Number 1, with thirteen men under the direction of founder William Dugdale. “The Gig” is the first piece of chemical equipment in the State of Connecticut and purchased by the department on June 24, 1903 with a $900 loan from Dugdale. The Department sources only Mack trucks, specifically the CF series, for its apparatus fleet. Water was installed at the firehouse headquarters in 1911.^[1]
