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

Willimantic 3rd Alarm 08-07-12

Around 00:30 Station K Dispatched Willimantic fire to 62 South St, for a heavily involved apartment building. As the companies responded and the PD reported heavy fire, the captain requested 2nd alarm. Upon arrival they were notified of a trapped occupant on the upper floor. One crew entered the building for the search as a 2.5 was placed in service. The occupant was located and removed, CPR was started and they transported the occupant to Windham with the medic. This morning it was reported that the occupant was breathing, a 2nd occupant was transported for injuries from jumping from the upper floor#? Command requested an 3rd alarm for man-power and they chased several pockets of fire into the early morning.
