If you click on the above link, the picture on the news site shows a building under construction. That building burned in December of 2021. A very tight street.

I believe they are paid interns for the dept. but not 100% sure. The first time I've seen a cadet at a fire dressed to work.

This building burned on 4/11/21 also. I believe it's been vacant since then. It won't burn anymore as it fell down last night. https://www.squadfirephotos.com/2025/Fires/Hartford-Ct-2nd-alarm-122725-1

I always loved the Mack CF's and I was fortunate enough to work in a department that ran them also. A fire truck's fire truck
