The New Fairfield Volunteer Fire Company, Inc. was formed in 1934 with seven districts—Center, New Fairfield Bay, Squantz Pond, Balls Pond, Pine Hill, Haviland Hollow, and Wood Creek—and each district received an allotment of pails, ladders, hooks, rope, and salt. In 1935, land next to the town cemetery was given to the company to build the first firehouse, which became known as Company A. In 1947, arrangements were made to organize another company in the Kellogg Street area, now known as Candlewood Shores, which was given to Brookfield in the 1970s. Additional firehouses were built in 1959 in the Ball Pond and Squantz areas. In 1947, air raid sirens were installed in different locations throughout New Fairfield for use as fire signals. In the 1950s, the siren on top of Company A burned out and could not be repaired. A new siren was purchased from the War Surplus Department and remained in service until the 1990s, when a new modern siren was placed on the roof of the old firehouse. The fire department memorial is dedicated to all members past and present and to all those who answered the call of the siren.
