 The
Southbury Training School Department of Fire and Emergency Medical
Services has been a support service of the Southbury Training School
for as long as Southbury Training School has been in existence.
Although it's main missions remain the same today, as they were 40
years ago, the STS FD has expanded its services, upgraded its levels
of services and continues to pursue new and effective ways to serve
the residents, staff, and visitors of STS.
The main missions of the STS FD:
- Emergency Fire Response - Over
300 responses each year. Fire responses range
from automatic fire alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, fires, and
other requests for help.

Operating a CT Health Department Certified Mobile Intensive
Care-Intermediate Transport Ambulance, the STS FD responds to
over 500 Emergency Medical Calls each year just at STS,
providing care and comfort to the residents, staff and visitors.
- Routine Medical Transportation -
Serving STS residents for all their medical transport needs, the
STS FD conducts over 600 Non-Emergency Ambulance Transports each
year, over 2,000 Wheel Chair Medical Transports each year and
over 10,000 On-Campus Wheel Chair Medical Transports each year.
- Fire Safety and Prevention - The
STS FD is charged with implementing the STS Facility Fire Safety
and Emergency Operations Plan. This plan is a
comprehensive plan to prevent fires and prepare for fire and
other potential emergencies. This includes
conducting over 82 building inspections each month, fire safety
and CPR training and other prevention activities.
- Other Related Duties - The STS FD
provides other auxiliary functions related to fire and rescue.
For example the STS FD is trained and provides stand-by service
