Seymour Fire Department – Large-Scale Water Supply Drill

Good afternoon,

The Seymour Fire Department will be conducting a large-scale water supply drill this weekend, Saturday, August 29, and Sunday, August 30. This training exercise will involve multiple area fire departments and a significant number of tankers and fire engines operating throughout Seymour.

Saturday, August 29th
Training will take place at Great Hill Hose Company from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM

Sunday, August 30th
Training will take place at the rear parking lot of Seymour High School near Ross Drive. Fire apparatus will be traveling between Great Hill Hose Company, Gary Park, and Seymour High School as part of the water supply exercise.

The heaviest fire apparatus traffic is expected on Sunday between approximately 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM

The Seymour Fire Department will have Fire Police Officers stationed at major intersections to assist with traffic flow and help ensure the safety of both participants and the public.

At no time during this drill will participating fire apparatus operate with emergency lights or sirens activated. All apparatus will be traveling under normal traffic conditions and obeying applicable traffic laws.

Motorists traveling through these areas may experience minor delays and are asked to use caution around the participating fire apparatus and Fire Police Officers.

We appreciate the public's patience and cooperation as our firefighters and mutual aid partners conduct this important large-scale training exercise.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the drill, please contact me at [email protected]
Thank you,

Christopher M. Edwards
Fire Chief
