Bridgeport's New Camp Putnam (E & L 10)

[IzzyEng4 427]

As I was taking my afternoon Sunday drive, of course without my camera since I was intended on going to get a new stereo, I decided to take a trip down to B-port. As I was driving on Boston Ave (Route 1), Engine & Ladder 10's new station is unbelievable. It appears that the exterior is completely finished but the company has yet to move into the building. I can't wait to see if the BFD has an open house. I have a couple friends on Ladder & Engine 10 so hopefully I'll hear when they move in.

The old building on Putnam Avenue was the last firehouse in active service in Bridgeport that dated back to the old horse drawn days. No longer will Engine 10's driver have to get up in the middle of the night to pull the pump out so Ladder 10 (parked behind it) can respond to alarms when not running with the engine. The move is not to far either, seems to be only a few blocks north but the new building is big.

Even though they area moving from Putnam Ave to Boston Ave, They will always be Camp Putnam! I'll try to get some pictures up this week unless some of the Fairfield County guys get up there and take some shots.

Good luck 10's with your new home when your in.
