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.

Yantic W/F, Roof fire 04-14-09

Around 3am, A fire alarm was received for WW Backus Hospital, Yantic, Norwich and Taftville (5-2&1 response) Note: Sq-A was added due to a delay with Eng-3 and Tower1 clearing a fire alarm. As they responded dispatch reported smoke coming from the roof of the Maintenance building. Crews confirmed smoke from the roof area and investigated when the arrived on the roof they notified command of a fire in a flat roof. At that time Mohegan FAST was requested and Lines were stretched and crews opened up the fire area and confined the fire to a 10x10 section. The fire was under control in about 20 mins. The Hospital staff was on the ready if the need for occupant removal was required. The FMO is investigating
