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

Foxwoods 7 alarm 01-29-08

Mashantucket fire responded to Great Cedar Hotel at Foxwoods Resort Casino for a fire in the Utility room on the 9th floor at about noon time. On arrival a working fire was transmitted which started a progression to a 7th Alarm. At times fire was burning up the roof and along the eves. Crews from departments departments from the Stonington to Norwich worked to open up the confined and stubborn fire. The fire flared up many times. Crew finely gained the upper hand around 8pm. All companies did a great job on this fire.
