"fdny1075k", let me just say "What a GREAT Job you do for us here". The Fire Department profiles is an example. Another is the many rundowns you list for companies responding to fires in many of these cities.
I know that as a 19 year old, "you are a credit to your generation". I wouldn't say that if it wasn't true. I think you already know though because I've told you that before. I just wanted to spread the word.

Hartford Ladder 3 has been at 181 Clark St (Engine 7) since 2012 and is likely to remain there. The move has actually placed them first due at some incidents where they made rescues.
Wow, really? I never knew that. Was the move due to work on the Clay Arsenal Firehouse or to permanently relocate 3 Truck?fdhistorian said:Hartford Ladder 3 has been at 181 Clark St (Engine 7) since 2012 and is likely to remain there.

There was a concern about the amount of weight on the apparatus floor at Clay Arsenal. Ladder 3 is now much more centrally located with respect to the residential neighborhoods of the North End and is closer to the far Northeast and North Meadows areas. It still has quick access to N Main St, which is a wide boulevard. Ladder 4 can move east quickly down Albany Ave also.
What is confusing, when listening to the radio, is that Ladder 3 is still dispatched by the CAD system as if it was at Clay Arsenal. Even though the system has them at Northeast, the running assignment database still has them at Clay Arsenal, which makes for some illogical 1st and 2nd due assignments based on response distance.
