== Overview==
The Watertown Fire Department serves the Town of Watertown, Connecticut. Serving a population of 22,500 spread out over nearly 30 square miles, Watertown's volunteer firefighters respond to a variety of hazards; from a densely-settled town center, to rural, wooded, sparsely populated areas. Notable amongst the businesses in town is the Gowans-Knight Company, a small manufacturer of fire apparatus. Gowans-Knight has long provided the bulk of the town's fire apparatus, as reflected in the roster.
