While not the greatest pic, Clinton also runs this low-profile 1988 Eone 1500/1000 rig with a rear mounted dump valve. These guys had a major structure fire the night before and both of these rigs were in excellent condition East Haddam runs this Pemfab/American Lafrance top-mounted pump. The all-volunteer East Haddam Fire Dept. protects 7,100 residents in a 46 square mile area. Guilford's Eagle Hose runs this 2001 Pierce Saber 1500/750 pumper. The Guilford Fire Department is a combination department with 4 all-volunteer stations and one career station, with 5 men on duty. The town cites a declining volunteer base for the career staff. They protect 21,400 residents in 47 square miles. Although covered by bunker gear, there's no mistaking this classic from Essex. This 1978 Maxim S model 1500/750 pumper is loaded down with 2,000 ft of 5" hose. This 1996 Pierce Quantum 1500/750 pumper also serves Essex. The all volunteer Essex Fire Department protects 6,500 residents in a 12 square mile area. The EFD was organized in 1833, a proud fact emblazoned on all their apparatus. Deep River runs this 1979 Spartan/FMC 1250/750 pumper. Deep River is an all-volunteer department serving 4,600 residents in a 14 square mile area. The strange looking attachment on the front of the truck is a front suction. The larger port is for drafting, while the smaller intakes are for hydrant use. The Lyme Volunteer Fire Department runs this well equipped 2005 IHC/Ferrara 1500/1000/30A/20B pumper. Lyme serves an area of 37 square miles protecting 2000 residents. The officers side of Lyme's pumper. Durham runs this 1990 Ford/FMC 1250/1000 pumper. The Durham Volunteer Fire Department operates out of 1 station protection 6,600 residents in a 24 square mile area. This unusual 2000 Spartan/Saulsbury 1500/1000 pumper serves Killingworth's 6,000 residents in a 36 square mile area. The rollup cabinet stores a generator and lights.
All of these departments have limited hydrants and rely heavilly on tanker shuttles and drafting. All of these towns are rural in nature, with large 'McMansions' being built up on former farmland and wooded properties creating wildland/urban interface problems. Up until recently, Guilford, Clinton and Old Saybrook were the only towns that had aerial devices. Essex and Deep River just added aerials recently and Haddam might be next. Most of these departments with the exception of Lyme, Old Lyme and Durham are dispatched through the Valley Shore Emergency Communications Center, hence some of the rigs bear a three digit number. The first number is the town, the second is what type of apparatus, and the third is the unit number. For Example, 1-5-2 is Guilford's Engine 2, 3-7-1 is Old Saybrook's tower, 9-6-2 is Clinton's Tanker 2.

East Haddam runs this Pemfab/American Lafrance top-mounted pump. The all-volunteer East Haddam Fire Dept. protects 7,100 residents in a 46 square mile area. [/quote] Do you have a pic of the MACK CF in the background

Do you have a pic of the MACK CF in the background [/quote] Out of all the trucks that were there, Westbrooks Mack was the only one I couldnt get. I'll keep trying though 
CORRECTION!!!
The Pemfab/American LaFrance pictured does NOT belong to East Haddam Volunteer Fire Dept. The photo shows an apparatus of the Haddam Volunteer Fire Department (Department 13). Haddam and East Haddam are two separate and distinct Towns in Middlesex County. All of the Haddam apparatus are Yellow like the one shown. Haddam- located on the West side of the Connecticut River operates from 3 stations with 3 pumpers, a rescue, a tanker and 4 brush trucks. A small corner of the Town of Haddam lies on the East Side of the River and is protected by the Haddam Neck Fire Department (Department 16) which operates out of a single station with an Engine, a Tanker, a Rescue and Brush Truck. East Haddam (Department 15), the largest town in Middlesex County in land area, lies on the East Side of the CT River. The East Haddam Fire Department operates with RED, not YELLOW Fire Trucks from 3 stations.

Branford Engine 1, a 2005 Spartan/Smeal 1500/750 pumper. In 1976, the town recieved 2 Maxim pumpers painted chrome yellow. This was the new color scheme for the BFD. All new apparatus ordered after that were painted in the new colors. As rigs were refurbed, they were also repainted. This truck marks the return to red fire trucks. Branford is a combination department with 1 combination station and 4 volunteer stations with 7 career firefighter/medics on duty. They serve 29,200 residents in a 28 square mile area. |
