For the Gold Coast, going from North to South, Stratford has a Zodiac, jet skis, and a larger fireboat, but I'm not sure if it has suppression capabilities or if they even still have it. Bridgeport has a 26' Aluminum suppression fireboat(Fireboat 1) with a 1250gpm. pump that can throw a decent amount of water. It hasn't really been used that often though. Bridgeport also has I believe 3 Zodiacs/skiffs as support boats. Fairfield and Westport each have 2 Zodiacs and possibly 1 or 2 smaller boats. Norwalk has a fireboat (Marine 24-Harry Brower) with a deck gun on it that can serve both suppression and rescue capabilities. Darien has a fireboat(Noroton FD Marine 34) similar to Bridgeport's and Norwalk's with a deck gun and fire and rescue capabilities. It is also the town's only fireboat. Stamford also has a 41' fireboat(Fireboat 1), however, I'm not sure if it has suppression capabilities or not, as well as 6 or so smaller boats. Finally, I believe Greenwich has 2 Zodiacs and possibly a few smaller boats. I don't think there are any more in or around the Gold Coast other than the ones I and IzzyEng4 have mentioned.

Both radioreference.com and thebravest.com are good, but I find that you don't really get too much traffic. My best bet would be to buy a scanner(if you don't already own one) and tune in to FDNY's frequencies.

Why did the FDMV move back into, even just partially Station # 4 after it was deemed unsafe??? I would think that they would at least get the repairs done before backing rigs into it again. Was there no more room at Station # 3 or something???
