Photos from today's third alarm in the City of New Haven, CT.

09/08/26 New Haven, CT - Engine 6 arrived reporting a "73" top floor, number one side, "going good". Firefighters stretched lines to the top floor, but were unable to get ahead of the rapidly extending fire. The number two side exposure, quickly became involved in the third floor and cockloft. This prompted the transmission of a second alarm. Firefighters now had two dwellings with heavy fire in the cockloft. The original fire building porch soon collapsed puncturing and burning two of the interior lines, forcing companies to regroup and stretch additional lines. The firefighting effort was soon exhausted due to the work put in and the temperature of the day. One tower ladder and several two and a half hand lines were soon put into operation as firefighters took a blow. A third alarm was transmitted for manpower to finish the firefighting efforts. Several animals were rescued from the dwellings resulting in one firefighter being bitten by a dog. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

My first fully involved house fire in the City of Bridgeport, CT. This fire took place on the corner of Stratford Ave. and Hewitt St. It was a large vacant dwelling with exposures. Battalion Two immediately special called two additional engines and a truck. Multiple master streams were used to darken down the fire. It was the first of two back to back fires in the city that night.

Continuing on yesterday's post, we go from the west side to the east end for the second fire of the night on 04/07/1994. This was often the case on a busy night in the city.
Bridgeport, CT- Frank 3 Assignment - Heavy fire was showing from the second floor all side of the three story wood frame. The fire extended in to the third floor and through the roof. Firefighters were called out of the dwelling and transitioned to an exterior operation. Truck Six ladder pipe and two and a half hand lines went to work darkening down the fire. Engines 6,5,1 Truck6, TL 5 and Rescue 5 operated with Car 3.
