Bridgeport Fire

New Engine 12 Responds To It's First Working Fire On Federal St 5/11/11

Just hours after being put into service Bridgeport's new Engine 12 is first due on a Signal 29 for a fire in the rear of a house on Federal St. The arrived and stretched on a fully involved garage fire which was spreading to the expoures in the rear and to the right and left as well as blistering the siding on the three OMD's in front of it. The garage collapsed shortly after the crews arrived but they still had plenty of work to be done dousing the exposures and any remaining fire in the building of origin. Many thanks to the crew of Engine 12 and especially fellow fire photographer and fire fighter with Engine 12 Glenn Duda for hosting the monthly meeting of the CFPA that night. It made for one of the more memorable meeting nights in the last few years.
