About Us
The Kensington Volunteer Fire Department was founded on October 13, 1938, and has a long history of service to the Town of Berlin. On that date, a group of citizens met at the Italian Independent Political Club and formulated a plan to institute a volunteer fire department in Kensington.
The members of the newly formed Kensington Volunteer Fire Department solicited donations for funds to purchase equipment. A hearse was converted to become the department’s first fire truck, and it was placed into service in April 1939. The first fire truck was stored in a barn which became the department’s first fire station.
Throughout history, the KVFD has expanded and grown into its current location at 880 Farmington Avenue, Kensington. The fire station is a two-story, six bay building which houses the apparatus, equipment, training/meeting room, and social area. The KVFD operates with two fire engine pumpers, a tower ladder, and a multi-purpose utility.
Today we have begun to use the name Kensington Fire Rescue, mainly to indicate our increased role in responding to and dealing with not only fire emergencies, but all types of rescue emergencies as well.
Current Apparatus: Engine 2, Tower 3, Squad 4, 201
