Prior to 1941, the Taftville Fire Department, Baltic Fire Department and the A.A.Young Hose and Ladder Company of Jewett City provided fire protection in the town of Lisbon, Conn. Since the primary loyalty of these department was to their own constituents, they generally responded to a call in Lisbon on an "if available" policy. In 1937, these departments felt that the town of Lisbon should look into their own fire protection. It took four years and on April 16, 1941, 23 men gathered at a meeting to promote fire protection for the town of Lisbon. The result of that meeting was the appointment of a committee to draw up a constitution and by-laws for the organization of a fire department as well to nominate a slate of officers. The town of Lisbon was awarded as a Heart Safe Community, which is achieved when program requirements are met, such as having automated external deliberators in public buildings and certifying staff and community residents in CPR. The Lisbon Fire Department is working on getting all of the stores in Lisbon Landing on board with the program as to make the town of Lisbon an even safer place to visit. The Lisbon Fire Department is located in Lisbon, Conn.
