The Torringford Volunteer Fire Department will be holding it's annual Tag Sale on May 17 from 8am to 1pm at the firehouse at 1738 East Main Street in Torrington.

As always, we are looking for your spring cleaning donations to make our event successful. To drop items off to us, contact the firehouse at 482-5076 and we will arrange a time to meet with you. We are NOT accepting books or clothes.

We would like to thank all of those who helped with donating items to us for the sale. Without the support of our friends and neighbors, we would be unable to accomplish as much as we do during the event.

March 31, 2008 - The Torringford Volunteer Fire Department responded with Torrington Engines 1 and 3 and Ladder 2 to a confirmed structure fire on Hemlock Road in Torrington Monday afternoon.

Upon arrival Torringford Lieutenants Newkirk and Fisher assisted with roof ventilation operations while Torrington Firefighters battled fire in the garage, the attic and kitchen areas.

Later, Torringford crews overhauled the front room pulling walls and ceilings seeking fire extension. Engine 17's crew finally assisted with overhaul of the garage to assist the Fire Marshall with his investigation.

Before departing, Engine 17 and Engine 1 crews completed one last hose down of a few smoldering areas.

Torringford Cars 23 and 25 supported operations by denying entry to the scene. There were no injuries. According to published reports the fire claimed the lives of two family dogs. Additional photos can be found here.
