Taftville Fire Department

About CVFA This section is just a brief description of the Coventry Volunteer Fire Association and how we fit into the Town of Coventry's emergency response plan. Founded as a private corporation in 1936 we were originally the only fire department in town. The original fire station was located at 1216 Main Street just across from the Bidwell Tavern. The department remained in this station for 64 years until we out grew it. In May of 2000 our new station located across the street from the Coventry Town Hall was officially dedicated. We also expanded our coverage to Station 208 a substation located on the corner of South and Judd road.
