October 2013:
Norwalk: The Norwalk Fire Department moved into the
new fire headquarters. That is a facility I cannot wait to see. It is
on the same ground where the old Volk Central Fire Headquarters sat and
can be seen from I-95. I am eager to get a tour of the new facility.
Middlebury:
Middlebury Fire has replaced the rescue with a rescue pumper that was
purchased used from New York. I hope to photograph that truck this
year.
Waterbury: Waterbury Fire is looking for a used pumper to add to the fleet.
Beacon Falls:
The Beacon Falls Fire Department has been awarded funding for a ladder
truck. The last ladder truck they ran was a Crown (remember from
Emergency!). Crown Fire Apparatus was popular on the West Coast while
Maxim was popular on the East Coast.
Ansonia: Both of Ansonia's new ambulances are in service. I should have picture's and spec's soon.
North Stonington:
North Stonington has approved funding for a brand new facility to be
built across the street from the current fire station. The new facility
will be a combine fire and ambulance station from my understanding.
Old Saybrook: The Old Saybrook Fire Department is working on spec'ing a new engine.
Trumbull: Long Hill Fire Department will be completely remodeling one of the fire stations.
Shelton:
On order are two 77' Rear Mount Quints one for Pine Rock and the other
for White Hills as well as a Pierce heavy rescue for Huntington and a
Pierce Heavy Rescue Pumper for Echo Hose. A springtime delivery is
expected for all apparatus.
Derby: Storms
Ambulance Corp will be sending out FD-10 so the body can be remounted
on a new chassis. The current International chassis will have a utility
body installed and become a dive truck.
East Hartford: Engine 3 has been assigned a 2004
Seagrave pumper which was in the show Rescue Me. The former Engine 3
Seagrave pumper has moved into reserve status.
Kent: Kent Fire ordered a Chevy / Lifeline ambulance.
Sherman: Sherman has two committees spec'ing out a new pumper and new ambulance.
Westbrook: Paperwork should be signed this
week with Seagrave for a 75' Aerialscope to replace the current aerialscope
serving the department.
Middlefield: Middlefield currently has an engine in
production.
Waterbury: Waterbury is currently looking to purchase a used
pumper truck.
Woodbury: Woodbury Ambulance has moved into a new facility
about a mile from the main station where they were housed prior to moving into
this facility.
Woodbury: Woodbury should be taking delivery of the new
Spartan/GK in the next couple of months.
Durham: The Durham Fire Dept should be taking delivery of
the new rescue this month.
North Branford: To the best of my knowledge, Medic 4 is now
running with the refurbished ambulance. It is a 2007 AEV on a new Terra Star
chassis. The second ambulance will go out after the first of the year for a
refurbishment.
New Britain: NBFD is currently
shopping for two aerial
trucks. The department got a grant to replace one aerial and capital
improvements included a new aerial truck. I know they have looked at
several
manufacturers, but I do not believe they have made any final decisions.
