Hartford is the only one left in the state. I believe milford closed a firehouse and made a two company station, therefore losing their ISO Class 1

Milford lost their Class 1 last year sometime after its re-evaluation and are working to get it back. They are still running Engine 5 (Woodmont) and Engine 6 (Point Beach) out of separate firehouses for the time being. This is because there has been delays with the completion of the new firehouse up on New Haven Avenue. The construction of the new firehouse will provide better coverage to the northern areas of the east end especially north of the borough of Woodmont where there were some coverage and travel issues (one of the supposed reasons why they lost the Class 1 rating).
Prior to the Class one rating, they combined Engine 3 (Walnut Beach) and Engine 4 (Devon) from two separate firehouse into "Station 8" on Naugatuck Avenue on the city's west side. This is the station I believe that you are referring to.
AND ALSO - The Connecticut State Firefighters Association Convention was held this past weekend and I got some information that Southington Engine Tanker 22 (Plantsville) may be making a return tot he parade circuit next year!
