Southington Fire Department provides a voluntary Community Risk Reduction Inspection program, providing a home safety inspection for residential homes, smoke and carbon monoxide detector installations, and fire safety education. Like other Public Education programs, no activity has occurred since the pandemic. Southington Fire Department should consider attaching a fire safety message at least once per year along with a regular utility billing notice. Doing so can result in one point of additional credit during the next ISO evaluation.
Operational Staffing The daily on-duty staffing for the Town of Southington is a minimum of six on-duty personnel 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This daily paid staffing is split between headquarters (Station 1) and Station 5. Stations 2 and 3 are completely volunteer. Figure 95. Southington Fire Department Staffing
