Brought back lots of memories.

Just a suggestion: put the name of the City or town in the heading so folks know where the fire is. The date is also helpful.

RIP and prayers for the injured firefighters.

After quite a while on display at the Mystic Seaport, the original Firefighter, built in 1938, was towed to a repair facility in Quonset Point, RI for some work. It was accompanied along the way by various marine units from both CT and RI. Unknown how long it will be in Quonser Point or where...

At 0236 hours, the Pawcatuck FD responded to a report of a working structure at 26 Liberty Street in the Pawcatuck section of Stonington, CT. This was a rear tenement across the street from the Pawcatuck firehouse. First arriving units reported a fully involved 2 1/2 story wood frame residents...

Thanks for the heads up. I am going to a niece's wedding October 20th; it is in Norwalk between Exits 16 and 17. Trip home will be interesting. I will probably take local streets and get on I-95 at Exit 18.

Thanks for the correction on the date, Uncle Willy.

New London FD operating at a working structure fire at 34 Squire Street. All NLFD companies responded plus Sub Base FD (FAST) and Groton Ambulance. Second alarm transmitted: probably a ladder from Waterford and units from Groton. Additional report: 4 lines stretched and operating, heavy fire...

A new version of the truckless triangle with E 218 in with E 222.

4th due engine: E 68 or E 69?

Thanks Willy D. Fond memories of working with the Fairfield FD. Prior to that rode with Eng 248/ B 41 for nine years. Still responding in Stonington even though I turned 80 in September. Only do Fire Police duties these days.

Reported elsewhere, the flooding in Central Park was so severe that the sea lions in the zoo were able to swim over their glass enclosures and escape. They were safely captured and returned.

Reported elsewhere: no box number given, all hands fire at 2317 Cortelyou Road. Fire was under control at the time of the all hands. Should be, in no particular order:, E 248, 281, 255 L 147, 157 B 41, if all available.

Question: Is E 218 catching more work due to their temporary relocation to E 222 or are they doing about the same?

The Old Mystic FD was dispatched to a structure fire at 134 Cow Hill Road, near Oral School Road. First arriving declared a working fire with heavy fire in a 2 car attached garage. Mystic FD responded for mutual aid. As an attack was being made, command transmitted a first alarm assignment...

New London FD responded to a working fire at a 7-11 at 283 Broad Street. The store was open at the time and is just down the street from NLFD Station 2. The structure suffered severe fire damage. Mutual aid was called from Waterford, Sub Base (FAST), and Pequonnock Bridge.

Same is true for E 281 and E 249. They respond together on many boxes.

Finally reached the age of 80; probably not the oldest member of this forum but close to it. Seems like yesterday when I joined Engine 248 as an auxiliary firefighter in 1964 and served there until 1973. Many happy memories working with the engine and riding as the "Aide to the Aide" in...

Town of Groton has two police departments: City of Groton and Groton Town. Pequonnock Bridge FD used to have two stations but they currently operate out of only one. I believe General Dynamics and Electric Boat are one and the same and commonly referred to as Electric Boat FD. All of these...

We had an Eddie Beck at E 248 back in the sixties. Transfered in from E 217. Left E 248 to become a fire marshal. Different Eddie Beck.
