DERBY — ‘Popcorn Sunday’ is usually the Sunday before Christmas in Ansonia and Derby. That is Dec. 22 this year.
Firefighters in Ansonia and Derby usually start in the morning. It’s unpredictable, and they have to stop and respond to calls if they arrive.
Listen for the sirens, and watch your friendly neighborhood Facebook community page to stalk.
Please keep in mind firefighters are volunteers, not event planners or public employees. They might not hit every street in your community.
