Oakdale Fire Department, 444 Chapel Hill Rd, Oakdale, CT 06370, US

On the rock ledge at the side of the parking lot, Sparky watches over Fire Station No. 1. Inside, it's Chief Ron Turner who does the watching. A transplant from Waterford, Turner has been in Montville for 17 years. He says there are 25 active volunteer members; three are women. All are certified by the state. There are 12 EMTs and three emergency responders. The station has 10 trucks, two ambulances and a couple boats. Montville's oldest truck, "The Old Lady," built in 1931, has been restored - entirely with money the fire department raised itself.
