I understand that there is talk of a protest due to the shutting down of the Yantic Volunteer Fire Department on Wednesday February 25 '26 only a few blocks from Norwich Fire Headquarters.

"JDC325", that Norwich Engine 4 is only in service because of the shutting down of the Yantic Fire Department. Had the Yantic FD not been shut down the response to that Greenwich Court job would have been the Yantic FD, Norwich Battalion 1, Engine 3, Squad A, Truck 1 and Taftville Tower 25. On...

Rev, I thought the Yantic FD was first due at my house - but - a recent incident near my house brought the Occum Vol Fire dept to respond. Then I checked and confirmed that.

I live in this city. I was a career firefighter in that city. Of course I have friends within the career as well as the volunteer department. But the safety of the citizens comes first.

A hang out for many buffs from miles around. The photo kind of tells the story of what parts of the South Bronx looked like back then. This Mack Baker 1973 75' TL sure saw it's share of work.
