Hartford had a job in this building about 6 weeks ago

Call came in by a passerby thinking the building was on fire. FD arrived to heavy fire from floors 3&4 https://www.squadfirephotos.com/2026/Fires/Hartford-Ct-WF-31626

I see Andrew Serra is coming out with a new book about 231/120's firehouse. I have not seen any info on when/where to buy it.

I live about a minute away. My son just left my house after dropping his kids off and called this in when passing. I told my wife I'm going to a fire around the corner. Bye. https://www.squadfirephotos.com/2026/Fires/Manchester-Ct-WF-2326

Slightly delayed for me getting there. Traffic was a nightmare. https://www.squadfirephotos.com/2026/Fires/Hartford-Ct-WF-13026

I almost turned around while going as it was sounding like they got it. Glad I kept going. A 30 minute ride for me, then I wasn't sure I'd even be able to get close. And the funny thing was I was walking to the scene about a 1/2 mile from where they wanted me to park, the area smelled like cow...
