Date:12/8/06 Time:16:00 hrs Location: old kings highway south Frequency: Units Operating:nhfd,T20, E21, NFD, E32,L30,R33,T35, DFD, E42, R44, TL43, 300, 301, 302, 200, 202, 400, 101, Description Of Incident: town wide mutual aide toned out for a reported stucture fire off of old kings highway south. fire was under investigation all units arrived in the same amount of time the nototon heights truck 20 was first apparatus on scene, and had a hose team in place. Darien hit the hydrant and Noroton assisted in all. all fire units cleared 2 hours after the call came in. fire is under investigation. Writer: sr71

really? my prayers to the fire gods have been answered!!

in darien we paint the telephone poles around the hydrants in a T the I part of the T faces the Hydrant and we paint in dirrfent colors which tell us the gpm of the hydrant. and we also have the flag markers where the hydrant isnt in plain view.

thats right. im from noroton one of the other depts in darien. and we have some blue lights on our rescue and ladder. so we can use the blues lol

does it have an orange lights bar in the middle?

the heights (as we call them) take pride in there all mack fleet, they take great care of them! there old tanker 23 was in great shape and they donated it to a fire dept in nh where its in front line service. if you take care of them thell last forever!

Every one who is a member of Emt Bravo i would like to wish the happiset thanksgiving. stay safe sr71

how about the member under 18 riding the aparatus thread? i think this is a good one because it talks about saftey and the isuses of young firefighters like myself

go for it guys this is a great idea

norotons new site

i could of joined post 53 which is the vac in town. but i grew up in my fathers restaurant down the street from noroton. so when u run around the firehouse when your little you end up joining i guess.

they have 2 ones called the EQ2b and the other one is on the pa300 and its the peak and hold on the wail.

when i went there last week, and the tour guide told me that they had an engine on site i started thinking mabey its a ex fdny seagrave? or a old fdny mack? or a quint. i was wondering if any one had any pics of it or any info on what kind of apparatus it is. thanks sr71

second the led thread and the burnout thread

i think it depends on the dept. at mine we call our apparatus by there apparatus number for example "get the gell blanket out of 32". 32 is our first due piece and its a engine. or " get the tarps out of 30" thats our ladder but when we run mutal aide we have the tendency to say engine or ladderand or truck, and rescue so thers no confusion.

Hello everyone, My names Steve, Im a Volunteer at the Noroton Fire Dept of Darien Ct. we are known for our yellow maxim fire engine E31 and our fire boat. i'm a senior at norwalk high school and hopefully i will go to the university of new haven and study arson investigation. ive been in the fire service for almost a year. my intrests are in the technology of firefighting, apparatus, emergency lighting and sirens. i wantt to be a chief some day or my dept about 20 years down the line. and i want to be a friefighter in norwalk.

when im at work or at home and im avaible to go to calls i go. because in my town and in the vollies you never know whos showing up and how many people will be there. i could show up to a fire alarm and only 4 other guys are there. or a fire and you get everyone. but its usually the same old guys who do everything and in the summer the college guys do more but now when its just the older guys and us highschool kids we have to pull our wieght and than some.
