Greenfield Hill Volunteer Fire Company No. 5 (Fairfield, Conn.)

Hide Profile

Founded in 1933 by a group of prominent citizens who wanted fire protection for residents in their part of town (Greenfield Hill, part of Fairfield, Conn.). The company also provided a social outlet for its members, and raised funds for charity. Originally located at 165 Verna Hill Rd., the firehouse moved in 1959 to 3965 Congress St. The company eventually was supplemented by full-time town firemen. A drop in membership led to their disbanding in 1997.
