Description
Established in 1705, the town of Groton is geographically situated between the Thames and Mystic Rivers in the southeastern corner of Connecticut. The town is created from eight separate subdivision communities which can be known as fire districts. Groton may be the house to a big naval submarine base, a small general aviation airport, and several major industrial facilities, including the Electric Boat Corporation and Pfizer, Inc. The Mystic fire district is recognized for its historical maritime museums and facilities and plays host to thousands of tourists every year. Nowadays, Groton and Mystic are provided emergency services and products by 13 fire departments, three police departments, two ambulance associations, one paramedic response unit, and one central dispatch operation.
