   Help the New London Firefighters "Fill the Boot" to support the MDA foundation. The NLFD will be filling the boot outside of the North Station (240 Broad St) and outside Fire Headquarters (289 Bank St) every Friday of August from 1-3pm.

The Fill the Boot campaign was started in 1954 and has raised over $558 million from generous donations. We hope to see you there!

New London FD would like to thank its member Kent Reyes for 32 years of proud service to both the Fire Department and to the local community. Kent retired this month and his daily presence and spirit will be greatly missed on the job. Thanks for everything Kent!

The I-95 Southbound Bridge project started in mid April. This project could pose numerous unique challenges for the members of the New London Fire Department. A previous incident(9/1/2015) where a "Snooper Truck" failed below the surface of the bridge was handled with A-35 on the Groton side. If one of these trucks should fail over the water or someone becomes injured on a work platform, members are practicing with high angle rescue techniques should we need to lower one of our firefighters over the side. This rehab process for both the South and Northbound spans will be ongoing for the next 5 years. Group 3 working with the equipment on 5/25/17.
