05/19/26 Hamden, CT - Companies arrived to find a two and half story dwelling with fire showing from the number on and two floors. Members had to contend with a severe exposure issue on the number four side as well as one civilian walking wounded outside. This prompted the transmission of a second alarm. Multiple lines were stretched to both floors to darken down the fire, but not before it had extended to the attic. Conditions rapidly deteriorated, forcing members to back out in favor of an exterior attack. A third alarm was then transmitted bring companies from New Haven, North Haven and Cheshire to the scene. The fire took about an hour to bring under control. The cause of the fire is being investigated by the fire marshal's office.

New Haven LODD Funeral FF. Tom Kelly
05/09/26 New Haven, CT - On February 26, 1992. Firefighter Tommy Kelly responded to the reported fire at 1142 Chapel Street as the Tillerman of Truck Company 4, he was tasked with vertical ventilation. While operating under intense heat and heavy smoke on the roof, Firefighter Kelly fell 30 feet down an uncovered light shaft. In a search and rescue mission for the ages, his fellow fire fighters miraculously were able to get to him and pull him from the pit at the bottom of blaze. They risked their lives to save Tommy, just as he would have done for them. He was taken to St. Raphael's hospital and his prognosis was grim.
His recovery was aided by constant visits from firemen, around the clock care from doctors and nurses and constant vigil from his parents, siblings, family and friends. The magnitude of the injuries Tommy sustained from his fall did not allow him to return to the job he loved.
During his years of service, he was recognized with five Unit Citations (given in recognition of exceptional performance in protection of life or property) a Medal of Merit awarded on June 28, 1984 for a dramatic rescue at a fire at 551 Whalley Ave and a Commendation by the New Haven Board of Alders on June 21, 1989.
