Community Service Award

The Hamden Firefighters Awards Committee has chosen Hamden CERT for a 2023 Community Service Award in recognition of our contributions to the town.

We would like to thank Mayor Lauren Garrett, Fire Chief Jeffrey Naples, and the Hamden Firefighters Awards Committee for their recognition of our team.

Our Volunteer Members are always there to support our firefighters, other first responders, and any civilians who may be the victims of any large-scale emergency. It is always our privilege to respond and be by the side of our firefighters and other responders while they perform their duties to protect the lives and property of our community members.

For those of you who took the time to come out to honor our firefighters and civilians who helped make a difference, when misfortunes or emergencies occurred, we thank you! Special thanks to the Dunbar Hill Volunteer firefighters from Station #8 for their hospitality in giving us a home in opening their station to us. We also would like to recognize our unseen partners from our Hamden Central Communications Office who answer every 911 call and dispatch our emergency responders. Not only do they assist callers in their most trying moments but also serve as our guardians when we call them to send additional resources for our well-being and the needs of our community.
