Bolton, Connecticut — November 23 — This week, the Bolton Volunteer Fire Department received new emergency kits that were immediately installed on departmental equipment, completing an equipment update. During responses, members made sure the kits were set up correctly within the rigs and prepared for use right away. For volunteer departments that safeguard nearby areas and offer assistance to one another, maintaining well-equipped and well-organized equipment continues to be a top priority. Pre-positioned equipment helps personnel work more effectively and minimizes delays once on the site, according to department officials. The Bolton Fire Department serves both rural and residential communities, and response operations depend heavily on readiness. Firefighter safety and operational efficacy are supported by ongoing equipment upgrades, which assist guarantee that crews are prepared for calls.
