🚒 Lisbon Fire Department Awarded FEMA AFG Grant! 🚒

The Lisbon Fire Department is proud to announce that we have been awarded a FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) for Vehicle Acquisition!

On Wednesday, September 30th, Senator Joe Courtney stopped by the Lisbon Fire Department to congratulate the department on receiving this important grant award. We appreciate Senator Courtney taking the time to recognize this accomplishment and support the work of our firefighters and our community.

This grant will provide critical funding to help the department replace our 1969 International Brush Truck with a new vehicle. This investment will strengthen our fleet and enhance our ability to respond safely and effectively to emergencies throughout our community.

A special thank you and recognition goes to Assistant Chief Greg DeVore for his tremendous dedication and hard work in preparing and submitting the grant application. Grant applications require significant time, research, documentation, and attention to detail, and his efforts played an important role in securing this award for the Lisbon Fire Department.

We would also like to recognize Scotland Deputy Chief Michael Gurnack for his assistance and guidance throughout the grant application process. His experience and support were greatly appreciated.

This award is a significant investment in the Lisbon Fire Department and, most importantly, in the safety of the residents and visitors we proudly serve.

Congratulations to the Lisbon Fire Department, and thank you to everyone who helped make this grant award possible!

End of an Era at Lisbon Fire Department

Today, September 16, 2026, marks the end of an era for the Lisbon Fire Department as we decommission the station siren at our old firehouse.

Our fire siren has been a familiar sound in the Lisbon community since the 1950s. Long before two-way radios, radio pagers, cell phones, and modern notification systems, that siren was how our firefighters were alerted to an emergency.

When a fire was reported, the station siren would sound, calling our members to the firehouse. Once there, they would learn where the fire was and what type of emergency they were responding to. The information would then be written on a chalkboard so that members arriving later would know the location and could respond directly to the scene.

For generations of Lisbon firefighters, that siren wasn't simply a piece of equipment—it was a call to action. Its sound meant that somewhere in our community, someone needed help.

Today, technology has transformed the way we are notified. Cell phones, text messages, and third-party emergency notification applications can alert our members within minutes, providing information about what the emergency is, where it is located, and who is responding.

While these advancements allow us to respond faster and with more information, saying goodbye to the siren is still a significant moment.

For more than 70 years, its sound has been woven into the history of the Lisbon Fire Department and our community. It has called countless firefighters from their homes, jobs, dinners, and beds to answer the call.

Today, we silence it for the last time—not because its service was no longer important, but because it faithfully served its purpose for generations.

Thank you to all of the firefighters, past and present, who answered that siren whenever it sounded.

It’s often said that in emergency services, we get to witness all stages of life. On the evening of September 12, 2026, at approximately 8:22 p.m., Lisbon Ambulance 654—having been in service for just over a week—was dispatched to an imminent childbirth in town.

Ambulance 654 arrived just in time to assist with the delivery of a healthy baby boy! 👶💙

Mom and baby were stabilized and transported to Backus Hospital for further medical care. We’re happy to report that both mom and baby are healthy and doing well.

Congratulations to the proud parents on their newest addition! From all of us at the Lisbon Fire Department, we wish your family a lifetime of health, happiness, and wonderful memories.

What an incredible way for the new Ambulance 654 to begin its service to our community! 🚑💙
