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



If your interested in viewing all of the incident photos or purchasing a photo That I have taken click here.



This site will work with mobile devices.

River in the Mall 01-19-08

Tonight around 17:30 Yantic responded to the Dress Barn reported that the store was flooding. On arrival of Car-3 he found a river of water coming into the store. With in minutes water was heading out the front door. The water was 1 to 6 inches deep from the dress barn to the old Book store to the rear of Suburban Stationary. The rear of the store a 6" water main valve cracked in half, filling half the mall with several hundred thousand gallons of water. Luckily only one occupied store was affected by the water. (Note: most of the mall has been vacant for sometime for rehab).
