Important info:

Please remember that the incidents you read about below are more "newsworthy" than our everyday type of incident. Local 1522 takes great pride in handling many of our responses without "fanfare". We respond to over 6,000 calls for service per year with an average response time of approx. 3 minutes. The calls we are most proud of are the heart attacks or the "small fires" that are kept under control by responding quickly, effectively, and efficiently.

We would not be able to complete our mission without the support of the residents of the City of New London. Thank you!

The NLFD was awarded the Joseph DiBernardo grant. This grant will provide our members with bailout kits and training for them. The Joseph DiBernardo foundation was started after Joseph succumbed to his injuries when he jumped out of a 5 story window during the Black Sunday Fire on November 22, 2011.

2ND ALARM FIRE - 91 SQUIRE ST

On October 14th at approximately 19:00 hours, the NLFD responded to a second alarm fire on 91 Squire St. On arrival Engine 4 (in place of engine 1) met a 2.5 wood frame building with flames showing on the front of the 2nd and top floor. An aggressive attack was started on the 2nd floor. Units switched to a defensive attack due to fast fire extension in the attic and roof. Fire was knocked down soon after. Here is a short video. More video to follow.

Gross Decon Training 9/13/18

The NLFD has many nearby potential hazardous materials sites. Members often train on how to best deal with these potential incidents. Today members trained on gross decontamination. Pictured is a quick set up using two engines that will spray effected people with a gross rinse of water before they are seen by medical professionals.

There are two fog nozzles pointing towards each other and a third fog nozzle pointing down from the connecting ladder. This set up is to deliver an approximate 30 gallons of water per individual.

Pictured are firefighters Evan Giesing and Jack Tackling.
