  • Stamford firefighters spent this morning working with sprinkler contractors at a new 15 story office building on Washington Boulevard to test internal fire protection systems. It is critically important to test these systems prior to a building’s completion in order to assure proper pressures & water flows required for fire suppression operations during a fire. The video demonstrates the process used to set each pressure reducing valve to the Department’s required operating pressure. #stamfordct #stamfordfiredepartment #stamfordfire #highrisefirefighting #firedepartment #fireengineering #firetraining
  • Fire behavior training from earlier today at the Drill Field. Deputy Chief PJ Norwood of the East Haven Fire Department was a guest lecturer for the members of Recruit Class 19-01 and presented an excellent classroom and practical demonstration using a fire behavior dollhouse. The dollhouse was designed by a member of the Stamford Fire Department several years ago and has been used by numerous Fire Departments across the country and throughout the world to teach fire and smoke behavior. #palmersdollhouse #stamford #connecticut #stamfordfiredepartment #fireengineering #sbsk #firefighter #firedepartment #fireetraining #modernfirebehavior
