Engine Company 3 is located in the beloved "East Side" of the City.  It is one of three single engine firehouses in Norwalk.  It is often referred to as "The Pride of the East Side."  Station 3 is a very traditional and historic fire house, it was built in the 1800's and has all of the character and markings that it did when it served as "Mayflower Hook and Ladder."  In 2015, Station 3 underwent and extensive restoration project with the majority of the work being done by our own Local 830 firefighters.

Engine Co. 3 protects a large portion of Norwalk's waterfront including the popular Calf Pasture Beach; Station 3’s first-due district is densely populated with numerous multiple-family wood frame structures on very narrow streets as well as high density multi story apartments.  A large portion of Interstate 95 and the Norwalk waterfront is served by this company as well as a Metro North Commuter Rail Station. Engine Co. 3 frequently responds mutual aid to assist the Westport Fire Department.  The firefighters assigned to Engine Co. 3 are also cross –trained to operate our two marine units that are located at Veterans Memorial Park Marina.  Engine Company 3 is staffed with a Lieutenant and 3 firefighters.
