Building
Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps has been serving the community since 1941 and is committed to providing coverage of emergency medical needs for the long - term. As the population grows and the demand for service increases, so do the needs of the organization. With 70 members and an annual 9-1-1 call volume of over 3,200, NVAC outgrew the former facility on Main Street that we occupied since 1972. In the fall of 2014, NVAC moved into a new building on the Fairfield Hills Campus. Features of the new building include: individual crew-member bunk rooms, office space for the Executive Board and the Association, six garage bays, and technologically advanced electronic and security systems. This building includes a large training room to facilitate increased community educational opportunities such as CPR and AED training, First-Aid, and Scout merit badges. It also provides space for equipment storage and training for Emergency Medical Technician classes, which are imperative for the continuity of an all-volunteer corps.
As one of the few remaining community-based Emergency Medical Services Corps in Connecticut, the reliance on support from others is critical and very much appreciated.
