History of NVAC

In 1941, Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Association was founded. Financed entirely by public contributions, the association designated John Sedor as the Chief, and assigned him the task of organizing a volunteer driver corps. Then in 1942, with the purchase of a Cadillac Supreme ambulance by the Rotary Club, the Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Association (NVAA) began it's service to the town. For the beginning years, Newtown Ambulance operated out of Newtown Hook and Ladder Fire Department's garage behind Edmond Town Hall. In 1972, Newtown Ambulance moved to it's location at 77 Main Street which was retrofitted from being an old service station to being home for the Ambulance Corps. An addition was added in 1984, which the Corps has since outgrown. In October of 2014 the Corps moved to it's new location across from the Reed School in Fairfield Hills, which is right off Wasserman Way. Today, Newtown Ambulance is organized into two entities: The Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Association and the Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps. The Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Association is a private non-profit organization 501(c)3. It is comprised of approximately 15 volunteer Trustees who manage the administrative/financial side of running Newtown Ambulance. Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps is made up of approximately 50 trained Emergency Medical Technicians who volunteer their time to help others in their community. These members range in age from high school to retirees. NVAC covers an area of over 60 square miles and is one of the most active volunteer EMS providers in our region with a volume of over 2,800 calls and 30,000 volunteer hours per year. Currently, NVAC has three ambulances available to provide Basic Life Support (BLS) service. In order to provide advanced life support (ALS) to our community, NVAC contracts for a paramedic to be housed 24/7 in our garage to respond to ALS calls. As active participants in the community, Newtown Ambulance has taken part in the town's Health Fair, Labor Day Parade, fire department standbys, merit badge training for scouts, teaching EMT classes, and teaching community first aid/CPR classes.

This weekend, the Newtown Fire Departments, Newtown Ambulance, Brookfield Ambulance, a Northwell Doctor and Nurse, Northwell Medics and EMTs (who also covered for us during the drill), Bethel EMS, Newtown Police Department, CMED, and Newtown Dispatch came together for a successful motor vehicle accident (MVA) drill.

Working side-by-side allows our first responders to practice communication, coordination, patient care, extrication, traffic control, and scene management in a realistic environment - so that when a real emergency happens, we’re ready to work together seamlessly.

We’re incredibly grateful for the dedication, professionalism, and teamwork of all the departments and members who participated. Strong collaboration between our emergency services makes our entire community safer.

Thank you to everyone who gave their time this weekend to train, learn, and prepare together. 🚒🚑🚓

One community. One team.

🚨 COMMUNITY NOTICE: EMERGENCY RESPONSE DRILL 🚨

This Saturday, emergency responders will be conducting a car accident response drill at Fairfield Hills.

The exercise will involve EMS, Fire Department, Police, and LIFE STAR practicing a coordinated response to a serious motor vehicle accident.

You may see emergency vehicles, personnel, equipment, and LIFE STAR in the area. Please do not be alarmed—this is a planned training exercise, not a real emergency.

These drills help our local first responders prepare for the moments when our community needs them most. We appreciate your patience and support as we train together to keep Newtown and our surrounding communities safe. ❤️
