The Noroton Heights Fire Department responded to its first fire in 1903; it is still the youngest of Darien's three volunteer fire departments.
While the Noroton Department is responsible for its individual district, all three departments are dispatched together to any structural calls.
The Department's firehouse on Noroton Avenue was built in 1955. Today, it is the headquarters for about 150 active and veteran members.
Noroton Heights is partially supported by Town taxes, but the Department also relies on generous contributions to meet their annual budget.
