Hartford, Ct Vacant 21 bay garage fire 10/19/25

Hartford is around 130k population with high levels of poverty and a large amount of what I'd call "borderline" old housing stock. Unfortunately there seems to be a resultant high level of activity for HFD. There is a fair amount of mutual aid that happens around here: I live in West Hartford which is a separate municipality (though I'm always a New Yorker at heart). There is back and forth over the City line both ways between HFD and our own full-time professional FD.
 
How many companies does Hartford staff and what's the compliment on each engine and truck? They seem to stay pretty busy.
They are busy. They have a few companies doing 5000 plus runs a year. The 2 District Chiefs do about 4600 runs a year each. I'm not sure what the Deputy Chief (Car 6) does for runs but I'd say 3-400 a year.
