Old Lyme Fire Department (Connecticut)

The Old Lyme Fire Department is a volunteer fire department serving the coastal community of Old Lyme, Connecticut. Noted for being an artist's colony and home to a large expanse of summer homes on the beaches of Long Island Sound, the department also covers approximately four-and-a-half miles of the Connecticut Turnpike, along with the former Lyme Academy of Fine Arts (now affiliated with the University of New Haven).
