The Tunxis Hose Fire House in Unionville, Connecticut, has been a cornerstone of the community since its founding in 1893. Formed in response to the growing need for organized fire protection in the bustling mill village of Unionville, the company took its name from the nearby Tunxis Native American tribe. Over the decades, Tunxis Hose has evolved from horse-drawn hose carts to state-of-the-art fire engines, all while remaining an all-volunteer department. Throughout its history, the fire company has played a vital role not just in emergency response but in community life, hosting parades, holiday events, and the long-running Tunxis Hose Carnival—a beloved summer tradition for generations of Unionville families.
