Threading the needle!

We are lucky to have a gorgeous old firehouse, on Main Street right downtown in New Canaan. But did you know that unlike with modern firehouses we literally only have inches to spare on each side when getting the fire trucks in and out of the bays. If you are couple of inches off the line you might have to reset and try again or risk hitting something. Especially with the Long ladder truck. It literally blocks both lanes of traffic before you can turn the wheel when when exiting or lining up to back back in to it’s pigeon hole.

If you ever wonder why we block traffic on Main Street and the Main / Locust av corner for what seems a while when returning the trucks back to the Firehouse, that is why. It is amazing to see how smoothly some of the operators thread that needle when backing the rigs back in to that tight space in one try.

So when you see us blocking traffic to back in, take a moment to observe those operators show their skill and be patient in case we don’t make it in one try! We prefer taking the extra time to avoid damaging our beautiful Firehouse or the expensive fire Apparatus.

Cold water - ice Rescue

Today the Fire Company, joined by New Canaan EMS, did a cold water - ice rescue drill at Mead pond.
It is a good and fun winter drill. You never know when we might be called upon to rescue a person or animals that get trapped in waterways around town in both warm and cold weather. A tricky operation, especially in cold weather when ponds freeze and victims get stuck on or worse fall through weak ice.
We used the cold weather and icy conditions today to give our your newer members a chance to don the rescue suits and practice rescuing the less than cooperative victims out on the ice. Sporting the highly fashionable classic “Gumby” suits more experienced members plaid victims and alternate rescuers. In all a good day to practice rescue operations, including Ice rescue, triangulate victim location, throw bag drills and both rescue strap and stokes basket victim retrieval. It was great to have EMS with us to cover more patient/victim treatment and discussions on best ways to treat, move and transfer victims from the hot zone to the bus.

Thank you @newcanaanems for helping us out today! We look forward to do more combined drills with you.

When it snows please dig us out!

If you take a couple of minutes to clear the snow away from you local hydrant when it snows, you can help save precious time in case we need to use it to fight a fire. There is a large number of hydrants in town, it takes a while for your Firefighters to drive around to dig them all out! Please consider digging out the one closest to your house. I dug my local hydrant out this morning, is yours still buried in snow?

Stay safe and warm !
