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.

 Waterford fire companies worked this 2nd alarm fire at 5 Manitock Hill Rd around 08:40, First arriving firefighters found a 2.5 story house up a 400+ft driveway with fire showing from the C & D sides. A request was made for town brush trucks do to the conditions of the driveway. Hand-lines were stretched buy hand and pulled buy the arriving brush trucks up the driveway. Crews made entry for a search and fire attack but were pulled out do to fire conditions, collapse of a roof section and a delay in water supply. After a short time the fire was controlled and operations changed to overhaul. Two firefighters were injured, four pets perished and one occupant stated that he was in a room on the 2nd floor and heard the cat discovered the fire then escaped out a 2nd floor window.
