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.

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.

New Haven 2nd alarm 52 Ann St. dwelling fire.
05/13/23 New Haven, CT – Firefighters from the Hill section were met with a heavy smoke condition emanating from a two and a half story, private dwelling. Lines were quickly stretched, but firefighters were met with heavy heat and clutter conditions. They were unable to make any forward progress and reach the seat of the fire. The fire soon vented the basement windows and started to reach an auto and the first floor. Companies were briefly backed out so the fire could be darkened down from the outside. Additional lines were stretched to all floors as the fire began to extend due to the construction of the dwelling, and a second alarm was transmitted. Firefighters were able to transition back to the interior and open up to stop any further spread. It took about an hour to bring the fire under control. No one was injured. The cause is being investigated.
