What is a Fire District

A Fire District is an entity created to provide for fire protection, suppression and  rescue services. In the Hopkins Hill area of Coventry, the responsibility of the Fire District also includes the costs of street and roadway lighting and rental and maintenance of fire hydrants. (Click on underlined words for information about these services.) 

An Act of the State Legislature created the Hopkins Hill Fire District and detailed the responsibility, authority and certain procedures in addition to the geographic area the District encompasses. The Act also allows the District to impose taxes to fund the activities of the District and its entities, such as the Hopkins Hill Fire Department.

This section of the Hopkins Hill Fire Department web site is intended to provide an overview of the Fire District. Further information on aspects of the District are available by way of the Navigation Bar on the right.
