  • Members trained this afternoon in the use of new TL-9 stabilization plates. The plate enhances the use of the hydraulic rescue tool and improves stability during a situation requiring vertical lifting. #stamfordfiredepartment #stamford #connecticut #holmatrorescue @ctcustt
  • Stamford firefighters are training throughout the month of July on high-rise fire operations. Fires involving high-rises or elevated floors present unique challenges that can hamper our ability for rapid extinguishment. Personnel continue to train on new procedures and equipment designed using the best practices within the fire service and to overcome common problems associated with this type of fire or occupancy. #stamfordfiredepartment #connecticut #stamford #firefighter #firefighting
  • 4 new TL-9 vehicle stabilization devices were delivered this morning by @ctcustt & will be assigned to Rescue 1, Engine 8, Truck 1, & Truck 2.
