Bridgeport News: House Fire

Sep 28, 2017 Stephen Krauchick

3:49pm--#Bridgeport CT--Residents of 237 Park Street told me that there were sparks coming from the wall prior to their home catching fire. When firefighters arrived they found heavy fire on the right side of the multi-family home. The heat was so intense it melted the siding off the neighboring home. That home earlier this week was the scene of a home invasion where the homeowner turned tables on the suspects and shot him. The heavy smoke from this fire could be seen miles away. Firefighters had most of the fire out when I arrived, it was a ten-minute ride for me. Everyone safely made it out of the home partly in due to a child who appeared to be about…

Bridgeport’s New Ladder 10 Fire Truck

Sep 28, 2017 Stephen Krauchick

Bridgeport, CT— Mayor Joe Ganim joined Bridgeport Fire Chief Richard Thode today to unveil Ladder 10, a new fire truck stationed in Bridgeport’s East Side Fire Department. Ladder 10 was custom built for Bridgeport by Pierce Manufacturing in Appleton, WI and replaces a 1994 unit.   What makes this truck unique is its design. It is a 107 foot ascendant aerial. Pierce Manufacturing used state-of-the-art military designs to greatly reduce the weight of the ladder. This allows the truck to only have a single axle instead of the traditional two. Additionally, the truck has only two stabilizer jacks instead of four. This feature makes it easier to setup between parked cars on tight streets.   Fire Chief Richard Thode said, "This is a…
