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.

Meriden 4th+ alarms 05-09-15

Meriden, Ct responded to 525 Crown St on 5/9/15 about noon for numerous calls reporting a building fire with people trapped and jumping. Due to the volume of calls and large column of smoke seen while responding Car 3 struck the 2nd alarm before companies arrived. On arrival members had heavy fire conditions in an apartment building. One civilian was found burned on the ground outside. I was told there was an explosion after members entered the building. Two members were also transported to the hospital, one having burns. Many mutual aid departments assisted at the scene and covering other calls. Later in the day Meriden had another working fire which was handled by some mutual aid companies.
