Operational Details

Station 15 operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. While the primary function is emergency response, the station also serves as a ”Safe Place” for youth in crisis. Residents can visit the station for non-emergency inquiries such as blood pressure checks or burn permits, though staff may be absent due to calls. The station is located at the intersection of Fairfield and New Britain Avenues. Please note that for all emergencies, you must dial 9-1-1 directly rather than calling the station house.
