Suit up!

Sometimes regular bunker gear is not enough. Being a firefighter today, be it volunteer or career, you have to me like an Swiss Army knife or a leather man multi tool. Trained and ready for all sorts of incidents. During their Firefighter one class, our members get a taste of what you could expect when responding to hazmat incident where you need to suit up to fight a toxic, lethal and often invisible foe. Another trick in the firefighter toolbox.

The boots look pretty snazzy too!

Thank you @shkryger for the pics!

If you want to try getting all suited up and join us, send a note to recruiting@newcanaanfire.com. We are always looking for additional volunteers.

You can always keep Learning! One of the greatest things I love about firefighting is the fact you are constantly learning new skills or ways to accomplish a task.

During Tuesday’s probie drill our newest member Troy got his hand wet practicing hose advancement with help from Harry who got a chance to practice his Fire One skills whilst helping Troy. Meanwhile senior members worked on pump operation and master steam skills.

We also have other volunteer members taking classes to increase their skills and knowledge. Sveinn is working on technical rope rescue skills, and Colin is working on getting his Q qualification in order to be able to drive FireApparatus.

The training never ends, our members keep increasing and honing their skills to better serve the community when needed.

If you are interested in joining us and learn those fun skills, send us a line at recruiting@newcanaanfire.com

New Canaan Fire Co., No. 1

With warm weather and family events the Fourth of July can be a fun time with great memories. Before your family celebrates this year, the New Canaan Fire Department wants to make sure everyone knows about fireworks safety.

• Only sparklers and “shower” type fireworks are legal to sell and use in Connecticut. No aerial or exploding type fireworks are permitted to be sold or used in the state. (Go to the Family Fourth – you will see a tremendous professional show!)

• Only persons 16 years and older may use the above fireworks.

• Always keep at least 30’ away from spectators and structures.

• Make sure you are in a clear, open area with no dried vegetation or other combustibles that can easily ignite.

• Never lean over a display when igniting.

• Always have a garden hose and bucket of water available.

• If a display fails to discharge (a dud), NEVER look into it or pick it up – let it sit and then dunk it in a pail of water.

• Be mindful of neighbors and their safety.

• Remember, most pets are terrified of fireworks so take necessary precautions to keep them safe.

• Be extremely careful of sparklers – the metal sticks become red hot and can cause severe burns – have a bucket of water available to dunk them in when they have expired.

• Never ignite fireworks while holding them – always have a level, stable surface to set them on.

• Don’t throw used fireworks directly in the trash – keep them in a separate noncombustible container for at least 24 hrs or soak them in a bucket of water to make sure there are no hot embers.

For any questions regarding fireworks or any other fire safety questions please contact the New Canaan Fire Marshal’s Office at 203-594-3030. Have a happy and safe Fourth of July! New Canaan Firefighters New Canaan Fire Co., No. 1 ... See MoreSee Less
