Groton City Fire Department (Connecticut)

__TOC__
== Overview ==
Groton City FD serves one of eight fire districts in the Town of Groton, Connecticut. Since the City of Groton is considered a "non-consolidated city," it has many of its own services, such as fire services and police protection. The Groton City Fire Department provides fire and rescue response, as well as medical first responder services for the district. They respond to about 1,200 emergency calls annually. 
The City's district is made up of a suburban, mainly working-class area at the mouth of the Thames River, directly across from New London. In its first due, on top of the residences, is the Avery Point campus of the University of Connecticut, the research facility for Pfizer (an international pharmaceutical corporation) and General Dynamic's Electric Boat (who provides design, construction and lifecycle support of submarines for the US Navy); the latter two have their own fire brigades. 
The Groton City Fire Department also provides fire protection and first responder services on a contract basis for the West Pleasant Valley Fire District, located along the Thames River between the City district and the US Navy New London Submarine Base.
