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.

Bozrah, 3rd Alarm @ a commercial BLDG 04-03-07

Around 3am Bozrah FD & Mutual aid from Yantic & Colchester, was dispatched to the Gilman corp. for a fire in the building involving a large amount of foam. First in officer found heavy black smoke conditions in the building. First arriving units placed a 2.5 hand-line in operation. As more units arrived a second 2.5 was placed in service. Over time A 2nd and 3rd alarms were transmitted for man-power. Crews contained the fire with multiple hand-lines and the use of the TICs to locate the seat of the fire. Crews vented the skylights to help relieve the smoke conditions. They found water was just containing the fire on the 20+ft high foam stacks. At that time the IC requested the state foam trailer. During this time the departments started with pro-packs and extinguished the main body of fire. Units remained on the scene for a few hour for overhaul and complete extinguishment.

A cold!? I figured I would bump into a blue RES3CUE 3 shield in there. Good pics as always.
