Groton City Fire Department (Connecticut)

The Groton City Fire Department is one of nine fire districts serving the Town of Groton, Connecticut. Since the City of Groton is considered a "non-consolidated city," it has many of its own services, such as fire services and police protection. GCFD covers a suburban, mainly working-class area at the mouth of the Thames River, directly across from New London. In its first due, on top of the residences, is the Avery Point campus of the University of Connecticut. The campuses of Electric Boat and Pfizer, also located in the city, have their own fire brigades.
