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.

Mid afternoon, New London fire and M/A worked this fire at the Lighthouse Inn, at 5 Guthrie place, Fire was confined to the rear of the buildings, walls and void spaces. Crews worked to open up the spaces and bring the fire under control. A heavy M/A response was called due to the size of the building and past fire history. 43 years ago, a devastating fire burned most of the roof off.
I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a fireman. The position may, in the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one; but we who know the work which the fireman has to do believe that his is a noble calling. Our proudest moment is to save lives. Under the impulse of such thoughts, the nobility of the occupation thrills us and stimulates us to deeds of daring, even of supreme sacrifice."
