First In






I welcome you to my blog site; I hope to show you the fire service in NLC in some interesting events. During the next few years, I will improve on the content and photos to keep you coming back for more. I take pride in my photography and try my best to be first in when possible. The majority of the photos will be from the Norwich companies & surrounding area departments, but sometimes I Buff out of state cities for a change of pace.



As of late I have missed or worked a lot of the incidents. I have a great support group of Photographers to help the site keep up with all the incidents. There are too many to list, So thanks for your support. Thanks for visiting and enjoy .RD Ladd



As of July 2017, my site has had 319000 hits thanks for viewing. If you keep coming I will keep posting. First time visitors for older post click on the month links right side.



Remember: I'm not able to make every major event, so if you get some photos or video and would like to share them, please contact me @ laddr68@yahoo.com

Franklin Barn Fire

Franklin CT. March 24, 2006 around 11am WW transmitted a report of a barn fire on Blue Hill Rd. Franklin, Bozrah & Lebanon responded. Ladder 126 arrived and found a storage area for tractors and Hay burning. The main fire building was attached to a large barn full of cows. BFD L-126 placed a blitz fire in operation to stop the fire from spreading to the main barn. E-126 placed a 13/4 handline at the top side of the building to hold this side from spreading. The fire was knocked down in about 20mins. Other departments responded for water and FAST was Baltic, Colchester, Salem & Mohegan Tribe.
