"I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a fireman. The position may, in the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one; but we who know the work which the fireman has to do believe that his is a noble calling. Our proudest moment is to save lives. Under the impulse of such thoughts, the nobility of the occupation thrills us and stimulates us to deeds of daring, even of supreme sacrifice."

 Chief Edward F. Croker, FDNY
circa 1910

2011 Chrsitmas Ornaments

The 2011 Christmas Ornament is now available.

Waterbury Station 5

Station #5, originally named the Brass City Volunteer Fire Company #6, was founded in 1886 at 638 East Main Street. On February 14, 1928 it was disbanded and became Engine Co. #5. After becoming part of the paid Waterbury Fire Department, a new single-story bungalow station was built.

In 1929, Station #5 received an American LaFrance Pumper, its first new apparatus. During the early 1990’s, firefighters refurbished the station through the generosity of the East Enders Community Club which donated funds to serve the East End of Waterbury.

All proceeds from the sale of the Ornaments will go to the Connecticut Childrens Burn Camp.

We also have some previous year ornaments available.
