Why Join?

Somebody once asked me why I decided to become a volunteer fireman. I replied very simply "I don’t know. They don’t pay me anything, I have to get up at all hours of the night and to top it off I go into burning building when other people are coming out. The funny thing is I love it."

Maybe what it comes down to is just this. We all take up space in this life. Being a fireman validates the parking.

The Noroton Fire Department like many other Volunteer departments across the nation is looking for new members.

1. You must live or work in the town of Darien.
