The North Farms Volunteer Fire Department is one of two remaining volunteer fire companies serving the Town of Wallingford, the other being the East Wallingford VFD. The department has over 80 volunteers.
The North Farms Fire Department was organized April 1, 1946 following the destruction of the Cook Homestead on North Farms Road earlier that year. George Wilkinson, a local dairy farmer, served as the first Chief of Department.
