Naugatuck, CT multiple alarm factory fire

09/25/23 Naugatuck, CT – Firefighters arrived to find heavy smoke issuing from a large, two-story mill building and companies immediately went defensive. Additional alarms were transmitted bringing surrounding towns to the scene. Firefighters had trouble throughout the firefight due to a lack of hydrants and water in the area. Access was also troublesome due to narrow roadways and railroad tracks fronting the building. Three aerials and multiple master streams operated to bring the fire under control in three hours. At the height of the fire, the number-one side wall collapsed into the street causing train traffic to be briefly halted. The cause of the fire is under investigation. An emergency demolition was ordered due to the damage sustained.

New Haven 3rd alarm 92 Chapel St. vacant commercial building
07/14/23 New Haven, CT – Multiple calls alerted Fair Haven companies that they would be going to work. First-due Engine 10 reported a two-story, commercial building going good with exposures. Companies stretched big lines and prepared for an exterior firefight. Heavy fire vented the second floor windows as Truck One’s tower worked to beat the flames back. A second alarm was transmitted due to low water supply and the extreme heat of the day, but companies were able to keep the fire to the building of origin. However, with no headway made on a now deep seated fire, a third alarm was transmitted bringing additional companies to the scene. The fire took about an hour and a half to bring under control. Firefighters remained on the scene throughout the night with a fire watch detail. The cause of the fire is being investigated by the New Haven Fire Marshal’s Office and New Haven Police Department. Four firefighters were injured battling the blaze.

New Haven construction collapse
06/02/23 New Haven, CT – New Haven firefighters responded to 188 LaFayette St. shortly before one p.m. for a reported construction accident with a partial collapse. First-arriving companies found chaos throughout the site as workers were attempting to assist the injured, while others continued to work.

Firefighters found six people trapped within the collapse of wood forms, rebar, and wet cement. They had to work fast in dangerous conditions to search for and extricate the injured. Five workers were carried out via stokes baskets. One was removed via a high point, a hauling system set up using Truck 1 and ropes. It took firefighters about 45 minutes to rescue, package, and remove this worker. Eight were injured in the collapse with several in critical condition at area hospitals. The cause is being investigated by OSHA, the fire marshal’s office, and building officials.

05/27/23 Waterbury, CT – Waterbury FD companies found heavy fire issuing from a mill building complex at the site of the former Waterbury Companies, which has long been vacant.

Three ladders, several multi-versals, and hand lines were used to control the fire which took about three hours. All Waterbury Fire Department companies were used to battle the blaze. The cause of the fire is suspicious. Several firefighters were evaluated for various medical conditions.

New Haven dock fire Long Wharf dock
05/31/23 New Haven, CT – New Haven firefighters found heavy smoke and fire involving the decking and support of the Long Wharf dock. They stretched hand lines the length of the dock to darken down the fire.

Ironically, New Haven’s fireboat is moored about seventy-five feet away and flowed water to extinguish the fire. The Freedom, an antique yacht built in 1926, was docked nearby and was briefly threatened by the fire.
