Manchester Fire Rescue EMS (Connecticut)

==History==
On July 1, 2023 Manchester Fire Rescue EMS merged with Manchester Fire Department Eighth Utilities District to form the Manchester Fire Department.
===Overview ===
Manchester Fire-Rescue-EMS was one of two fire departments serving the town of Manchester, Connecticut; the northwest portion of Manchester was served by a separate fire department, the Manchester Fire Department Eighth Utilities District. First organized in 1897 as the South Manchester Fire Department, MFRE became the Town of Manchester Fire Department in 1956; the name Manchester Fire-Rescue-EMS was adopted in 1997. Manchester's firefighters served a community of 60,000 located less than 10 miles from Hartford; much of the town is a bedroom community for Hartford, but includes several major shopping centers, including the Buckland Hills Mall.
