The building was located in the middle of a downtown block and was over a century old.  Heavy smoke poured from the structure for about two hours before the fire showed itself.

Two shots for you tower ladder buffs, one hell of a placement by the chauffeur.  The front of the truck is about six inches from the building.

I saw Patrick Dooley's pics and was amazed at East Hartford's placement.  also surprised that Hartford L-3 made it to right in front of the building.  was Glastonbury on scene or just station coverage?? i ask because i see Bolton's truck operating but Glastonbury's "new" ladder nowhere to be found

I think that's the guy's spare gear.  They went to black because their chief liked the way it looked.  I could be wrong but I believe they all went to black with what I assume is tan being their spare stuff....
