There are two types of services the Cos Cob Fire Police Patrol offers the community: fire police services, and fire patrol services. While operating within the realm of our fire police services, our members assist the fire and police departments with traffic and scene control at fire department calls. Members operating under our fire patrol aspect conduct salvage operations inside burning structures to save the property of the family or business.
