Letter from the Deputy Chief’s desk
Good Evening,
Today, was an important day for the future of the Canterbury VFC. This morning, two of our junior members graduated from the Connecticut Fire Academy’s “Introduction to the Fire Service” class of 58. Connor Cooper and Gavin Goodale not only demonstrated professionalism and integrity, but also brought honor to Canterbury VFC and the Community of Canterbury. This program has given them the tools and knowledge to jumpstart their careers in the fire service. We at Canterbury VFC are very proud to have both Connor and Gavin in our ranks.
Personal note from me
I’m very proud of you boys. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the community. I look forward to seeing you two grow in the fire service.
Respectfully yours
Thomas Marshall O’Neill
Deputy Chief of Canterbury VFC
If you know anyone between the ages of 14-17 looking to jumpstart their career in the fire service, please consider joining our cadet program. More information can be found at www.93fire.org

At approximately 6:59PM on Tuesday 07/14/2026, Canterbury VFC along with Connecticut State Police, and American Ambulance were dispatched to the area of 441 S Canterbury Rd for reports of a motorcycle crash. Units arrived on scene to find a motorcycle operator with a severe leg injury. Patient was transported to Backus Hospital in Norwich at the Advance Life Support (ALS) level. Fire personnel remained on scene to keep the roadway closed until the removal of the motorcycle.
As always, Canterbury VFC would like to thank the State Police and American Ambulance for their assistance.
Roadway is open at the time of this post.
