One-Hundred and Fifty-Eight years ago, the Storm Engine Company, the second of Derby's four fire companies, came into existence. The company was chartered by the State of Connecticut September 14, 1853. Today, they represent an important part of Derby's fire department, a dependable company, alert and with a membership fully cognizant of its responsibility that is theirs as a unit of the city's volunteer fire fighting system.
The Storm Ambulance & Rescue Corps is a non-profit group that provides emergency medical services, technical rescue, hazardous materials and water rescue to the City of Derby, and to a lesser extent to the rest of the Lower Naugatuck Valley. It also provides community training to the residents of Derby and the Lower Naugatuck Valley in CPR/First Aid and safety related topics. They have existed since 1948.
