This year, the UConn Fire Department celebrates their 125th Anniversary.  They have partnered with UConn Branding to develop an apparel line in honor of the 125th.  There are hoodie and crew neck sweatshirts, long and short-sleeve T-shirts, mugs, and stickers.  Adult and youth sized apparel is available.  These items may be purchased online by clicking here.

Also, on Friday, November 17, 2023, there will be a gathering at the Urban Lodge Brewing (47 Purnell Place in Manchester, CT) from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM to celebrate the 125th Anniversary of the UConn Fire Department; this is also the annual Retiree Gathering.

Tickets to the event are $30 which includes appetizers and one beverage.  Additional beverages and food will be available for purchase from the facility.  Please spread the word to current, former, and retired CPFU members, as well as your friends and family.

Tickets may be purchased ahead of time by Venmo to H-C Firefighters House Fund (@HealthCenter-FireDept).  The QR code is below.  Tickets will be available for purchase at the door using cash or Venmo on the 17th.

For food planning purposes, it is preferred that tickets be purchased in advance.  If you have any questions, please ask anyone from the 125th Committee (Capt. Tony Ruggiero, LT. Tony Nero, FF. Joe Speich, FF. Andrew Faust, FF. Anna Grudzinksi, FF. Jon Raiola, and FF. Kelly Torres).

We hope to see you then!
