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.

Car-10 requested a 2nd alarm for Taftville, Mohegan Tribe for FAST and East Great Plain was placed in HQ for coverage. Crews laid 4- 5in supply lines, placed deckguns, tower 1, and exposure lines into operation. Crews prevented the fire from spreading to exposure B, which was about 10ft from the fire building. There was a partial collapse of the fire building about 20 minutes after initial attack. Crews remaned on scene for several hours. Norwich fire marshal is investigating the cause of the fire.
