On May 8, 1830, a number of community-minded people residing in or near the center of New Milford, met for the purpose of "forming a fire engine company for the use and management of the fire engine recently purchased for the protect of the center."

The company records show that in 1903, a parade carriage was purchased from the Portland, CT Fire Department that has become the symbol and source of pride for Water Witch Hose Company No. 2. It was even featured in a 1973 Doublemint Gum commercial filmed on the Green.

As our town has continued to grow and prosper, so have the number of calls to which we respond. We have kept pace by purchasing newer equipment throughout the years to enable us to the community's need for protection.

From plane crashes to propane explosions. From structural fires to flood duty performing rescues on the Housatonic. Water Witch Hose Company No. 2 has faithfully served the community since 1863.
