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.

Willimantic 3rd alarm 10-10-10

Around 15:20, at Union Street and Clark. Willimantic went to a 3rd Alarm, Heavy fire conditions at the front and rear upon arrival. Shortly after fire attack commenced a occupant opened a window on the "D" side 3rd floor, he was cut off from the floor below. Firefighters raised a ladder as the occupant came out the window and was hanging on by a arm and a leg (see first video). He managed to reach the ladder and exit with minor injuries. As this was going on command requested a 2nd and then a 3rd alarm. A exposure building started too burn and melt. Crews protected exposure's and attacked the main body of the fire. Firefighters brought the fire under control with minimal damage to a near by apartment building, and the loss of some cars.
