Updated 7:30 p.m.:

Fire Chief David Berardesca announces that Hamden will be opening a warming station at Hamden High School on Friday, Jan. 3 beginning at 9 a.m. 

Entrance to the warming station is located on the North side near Chili's. The station will be open throughout the day and if necessary through Friday evening. Pets are acceptable only if they are secured in a carrier and have pet food supplies. Food and medications should be brought with those who come to the warming station.

In the event of large scale power outages in town dictating the need to shelter numerous citizens, we will move to open up a Shelter at the same location. Citizens can also dial 2-1-1 for information on shelters and warming stations in area towns.

Volunteer CERT members will be staffing the station. If you have any further 
shelter-related questions, call the non-emergency Fire number at 203-230-
4000.
