SOUTHINGTON, CT — Two local fire stations in town will be temporarily closed for different reasons this week.

According to the Southington Fire Department, Station 5 on River Street will close for about a month starting Wednesday, March 13.

This is so the department can install a new generator at the building.

In the interim, Station 5 will operate out of the SFD's main headquarters at 310 N. Main St.

Meanwhile, Station 2 on West Main Street will close for a while to allow for work on the Plantsville neighborhood renovation project.

As a result, Engine 21 and Tanker 2 will operate out of Station 3 on Clark Street.

The temporary closures are not expected to impact SFD services, which are provided by a mix of paid and volunteer firefighters.
