Westport Fire Chief Nick Marsan is encouraging all Westport residents to register for Community Connect, an innovative platform designed to enhance emergency response efficiency.

“Community Connect is a valuable tool for our community,” Chief Marsan emphasized. “By having access to key details—like primary contact persons, gate codes, special needs, basement/attic bedrooms, or even the presence of pets—we can manage and resolve emergency situations more efficiently. This proactive approach ensures we’re prepared to serve our residents when it matters most.” Community Connect allows residents to share essential and unique information about their households, helping first responders and emergency personnel deliver faster and more effective service.
