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

Around 12pm Danielson Fire with M/A, was dispatched for afire in a dwelling at 38 Kent St. Crews arrived to find heavy fire coming from an enclosed porch, extending rapidly into the main section of the home. Crew made entry and knocked down the fire on the main floor, but the fire in the attic eventually weakened the roof and command, withdrew companies and went defensive. Shortly after, crews reentered and opened up to search for hot spots. The fire is under investigation by the FMO. For more photos, Laddsphoto
I started in the fire service in 1985 with the Yantic Fire Engine Company #1. In 1991 I started a career with the Submarine Base Fire Department. During this time I found an interest photographing fire departments in action. Over this time my photos and videos have been published in the following, The New London Day, Norwich Bulletin, 1st Responder news papers / Fire House magazine, Fire Chief magazine (a cover Shot)/ Video work has been shown on Ch-8, Ch-3, TV show Code-3. I'm a member with Connecticut Fire Photographers. As you will see I have been running this site for several years now. During this time I have up-graded my equipment. I believe it's working out. So at this time I would like to thank all area fire departments in advance for access to your incidents.

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."
