  • 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. These are a first for the Department & will be placed into service once training has been completed. #stamfordfiredepartment #stamford #connecticut #techrescue #ctcustomfiretraining

  • 17-year-old Westhill High School Senior Katelyn Guzman completed her spring internship with the Stamford Fire Department last week. Katelyn spent the past 3 weeks riding along at Fire Headquarters and became familiar with the many types of duties and services that Stamford firefighters provide. Our sincere best wishes to Katelyn as she graduates this week and attends Central Connecticut State University this fall. @ccsu_official @cityofstamfordct @stamforddowntown @westhill_classof_2019 @stamfordmag @stamfordadvocate #stamfordfiredepartment #stamford #connecticut #centralconnecticutstateuniversity #westhillhighschool
