A three car accident, on both sides of the highway on I-95 near the rest areas (exit 21 area) sent six to area hospitals. No word on the conditions of the patients. Earlier tonight Fairfield Fire responded to the Merritt Parkway near the rest area when a large branch struck a car, fire department said there were no injuries.
If you like fireworks but hate the traffic, viewing the fireworks intended for the Bridgeport Bluefish Stadium just might be for you. The fireworks are shot off from a field near the Stratford Bridge. There are many areas downtown for an impressive show. I shot this off Caesar Batallia Way looking towards Main Street. To the right is the P.T. Barnum Museum. I knew from last year the building would be in the way on some displays but I wanted the museum in the foreground. The show is about 15 minutes in time, this is a sampling including the finale.
The next fireworks display is July 27th. Maybe I’ll interview the firefighters they have on call just in case something doesn’t go as intended.

The became all too real tonight as one took place at the Circle at Fairfield Motor Inn. After a considerable amount of time for the traffic stop the driver must have thought things weren’t going his way and bolted from his car and gave police a run. After a search of the neighborhood police apparently came up with out their man.
