On August 1, 1863 the by-laws of the Association were adopted and the first tax was levied in January of 1864. Land was purchased on Railroad Street and a fire house was constructed at a cost of $900. In April of 1874 the  Association requested the New Milford Water Company to install lines and hydrants

In May of 1941, the Association purchased one of the most modern pieces of fire equipment to be seen anywhere in this area -- a combination pumper, hose and ladder truck. In 1956, all mobile units were equipped with radio and a control station was placed in the Hose House.

In this same year, the need for larger and more modern quarter became evident and property on Grove Street was purchased.

The present firehouse was completed in 1960 featuring a meeting room upstairs and five truck pays with a sixth bay added in 1986.

In the late 1980's, two additional bays were added to the back of the Grove Street fire house. In 1989, Water Witch Hose Co. #2 took delivery of their 102-foot aerial ladder truck.

From its beginnings in the mid 19th century until today, the Water Witch Hose Company No. 2 has proudly served and protected the citizens and property of the greater New Milford area.

142 years...Hundreds of Citizen Volunteers...A rich history with a bright future for New Milford.
