To the editor:

The Noroton Fire Department would like to extend its thanks and gratitude to the Darien community and our sponsors for their support of our annual Bingo and Block Party fundraiser. Over 1,000 families, friends and supporters of NFD attended fun filled evenings of bingo, live entertainment, great food, drink and camaraderie at the field across from Hindley Elementary School. This opportunity to connect with the community we serve as firefighters reaffirms our resolve to willingly continue to make the sacrifice of neighbors serving neighbors. We would not be able to hold this important fundraising event without the generous help of our sponsors including: All Seasons Marine Works, The Darien Sport Shop, Palmer’s Market, Darien Car Clinic, Jimmy’s Southside, Mama Carmela’s Deli, Papa Joe’s Italian Restaurant, Andrew Stefanou Salon, Corbo’s Deli, Ed Fitzmaurice from Anheuser Busch, City Carting, Orchard Tree Service, Springdale Florist and Bob LaBanca from Impression Point. Congratulations to the Ferguson Family on winning the 18’ Sea Hunt grand prize of the boat raffle!

The Noroton Volunteer Fire Department has put into service a new fire engine, a “pumper” that replaces one bought in 1972, and it invites the public to see it at an open house from noon to 2 p.m. this coming Sunday, Oct. 18. The new vehicle was custom built in Wisconsin after a committee of Darien volunteers came up with specifications and research the purchase by visiting other departments in Fairfield and Westchester counties to see their new fire trucks. “The truck carries 650 gallons of water; 2,000 feet of supply hose from fire hydrant to fire locations and can pump up to 1,500 gallons of water per minute,” according to a news release issued Monday morning by the department. Here’s the full news release:
