  • Response at 0955 hours this morning to 208 Harbor Drive for smoke in the building. Companies located a fire in the electrical room on the 5th floor. Units remained on scene for an extended time ventilating smoke and high levels of Carbon Monoxide. #stamfordfiredepartment #stamford #connecticut
  • Truck 1 members training at the drill field this morning. The tower ladder provides numerous tactical options during a fire, including flowing a high volume of water from a ground level or below grade position. #stamford #stamfordct #stamfordfiredepartment #seagrave #towerladder #aerialscope
  • This afternoon, Stamford firefighters installed a new sign at our Drill Field in honor of past Fire Chief Charles R. McRedmond. Chief McRedmond was instrumental in establishing the training facility at the present location in 1973. Chief McRedmond’s son and great grandson joined us today to honor him and install the final screws securing the sign to the training tower. #stamford #connecticut #stamfordfiredepartment #firefighting #firefighter

  • Active and retired members of the @stamfordfiredepartment gathered together on Saturday morning to honor and recognize the passing of recently retired Stamford firefighter Sam Van Houten. Firefighter Van Houten served the City of Stamford for more than 3 decades and passed away suddenly last week. Our thoughts are with the entire Van Houten family. Rest in peace Firefighter Samuel Van Houten. #stamfordct #stamford #stamfordfiredepartment
