Norwich State Hospital Fire Department

== Overview ==
The NSHFD protected the sprawling 900-acre Norwich State Hospital psychiatric facility (located on the border of Norwich and Preston) from the hospital's opening in 1904 to its' closure in 1996. Most of the buildings were eventually razed, and today the site is owned by the Town of Preston; various attempts to redevelop the site have failed through the years, and now the majority of the property sits vacant.
