What This Data Tells You About MANCHESTER FIRE RESCUE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES

The department reports 83 total personnel, 5 stations, no truck inventory reported.

Benchmarking against the state gives this profile context. Connecticut has 418 registered fire departments and 16,581 total personnel, averaging roughly 40 staff per department. MANCHESTER FIRE RESCUE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES runs 108% above that state average, signalling a larger-than-typical crew likely tied to denser population or higher call volume.

No FEMA AFG or SAFER grant awards are recorded against this department's FDID in USAspending data, which is common for smaller or volunteer-heavy organizations that lean on state and local funding instead. Residents, insurers, and mutual-aid partners use these data points to judge whether coverage is adequate for the built environment, whether ISO ratings are defensible, and where future capital investment should flow. All figures on this page come from the Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data (HIFLD) public dataset, USFA published statistics, and USAspending.gov, and are presented without editing so the underlying federal record remains transparent and verifiable.
