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

June MVA reveals Hazard

Yantic CT. I 395 S/B just north of the Exit 82 ramp, two car MVA, two transported with minor injuries, while surveying the scene it was determined the SUV came to rest on a light pole base and the wires were entangled under the vehicle / frame work. The pole light was sent approx 70’ into the heavily wooded area off the side of the road and was noticed during the safety walk around, The scene was secured DOT Electrical was called to secure the power, I 395 S/B was down to one lane for 2 hour waiting for DOT.
This hazard may have not been found with out a proper size-up of the
vehicle and the scene surroundings.
Only visible from below the vehicle, the base of the street light and electrical wires. In the past cars have been found to be energized from just contact with these poles.
