❄️⚠️❄️Today-take a little more time on the roads or stay home if you can, careful on the slippery walkways, shovel your local fire hydrant if possible, and above all be safe… Like always, we are here if you need us…❄️⚠️❄️ Last but not least… try and have a little fun ☃️
They’ve done it! Connecticut Fire Academy Recruit Class 72 has pushed on through and with that, we at the West Haven Fire Department have gained 8 new members. Welcome additions to a rapidly expanding family!
WHFD companies are operating in the area of 50-80 California street for a structure fire. Use caution and avoid the area if possible
Please join us this Friday for the graduation of Connecticut Fire Academy Recruit Class 72 which includes 8 recruits who’ll be joining our department. The ceremony will begin at 1PM at the First Cathedral located in Bloomfield, CT.
Firefighters are often called upon to enter burning buildings to save lives and property. However, sometimes the situation can become dangerous, and firefighters need to exit the building quickly. This is where bailout training comes in handy!
The brief and critique. Everyone needs to know what the training objectives are, what the scenario is, what is simulated, and what is real. After the evolution we pick it apart. What went well? What could have been done better?
We now have a U.S Flag retirement box posted outside our headquarters. All are welcome to bring flags no longer fit for display and place them here. A ceremony to honorably retire these flags will be held at our headquarters located on 366 Elm Street, Saturday, 12/9, 10AM.
DID YOU KNOW: Traditionally, our ambulances have been called rescues. Why? Originally, because they carried rescue equipment such as extrication tools, and life safety nets amongst other essential tools. We first started with a bread truck. Read More: instagram.com/p/CzoQkN2sSju/…
IN REMEMBERANCE: George Batchelder our former Supt. Of Alarms until his retirement in 1968 who died on January 25, 1976. Read more on his extraordinary career: instagram.com/p/Czlr0nupb7X/…
#ThrowbackThursday 1911. West Haven Hook & Ladder’s ladder wagon. Pictured here is Chief Charles Cameron (on right) pulling out of the second Avenue Station, and a nice shot of the apparatus from the side.
We got a visit from some of our tinier residents to our Elm Street HQ and these little ones were in for a treat as Capt. Roy Sebas was more than happy to show them around our quarters. And of course, everyone loved meeting Danny!
Huge congrats to our very own Brandon Giannelli who has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. He joined our department on July 22, 2015 and has previously worked on our D and B shifts respectively. We wish him all the best in his exciting new career chapter as a fire officer!
The 'stretch'. An adage in the fire service is so goes the first line so goes the fire. The 'line' is one of a firefighters' most valuable tools. The quicker the first line is advanced, the quicker the fire comes under control, ensuring both the saving of property and lives.
No matter how long we've been in the fire service, we could all use a little refresher now and then. Everyone, from the Chief of Department on down has to be proficient in CPR. As is seen here, our Chief O’Brien getting in some work on the Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM).
'FORCE THAT DOOR!' In TV or/movies the scene has been shown plenty, but it's never as easy as it looks. Different types of doors/locks can dictate how long gaining entry to a building will take. Therefore, with our in-quarters door model, we practice for those varying scenarios.
#ThrowbackThursday to some of our old apparatus on the go on the streets of West Haven. Engines 1 and 4 as well Truck 2 fast en route back in October 1995. A little 90’s nostalgia for your timeline!
Ventilation. As seen in this training evolution, a source of ventilation for smoke is pivotal for members battling the flames. Opening or if necessary removing windows in the location allows members fighting the fire from an interior position the advantage of clearer vision.
Our Savin Rock Fireworks Show originally slated for tonight has been postponed and moved to Wednesday, July 5, 9:15PM. Visit westhavenfiredept.com to learn more
As always we're hard at work honing our craft! The scenario: making rescues. There's no such thing as overtraining in the fire service!
What do a saw, power unit, and wetsuit have in common? Those are just some of the tools we carry on our apparatus! Though each tool of course has a different function, the mission is the same: making a difference and saving lives.

Ever wondered why it’s FDNY, not NYFD? It’s not just a quirky New York City thing – it’s actually rooted in history dating back to 1648. In partnership with @nycfiremuseum, we will be exploring the “Firsts” throughout #FDNY history.
Here is a First Ladies & Gentlemen! Retired fireman Joseph McCarthy L-55 who is now a First Officer at JetBlue standing in front of “Blue Bravest” an airbus A320. He is the first FDNY member to pilot the aircraft. Joe is also a retired New York Army National Guard Blackhawk pilot…
All people have been evacuated from the partially collapsed building at 1915 Billingsley Terrace, Bronx. The building has 47 residential units and 6 businesses. Search for potential victims ongoing.
For hours, FDNY members searched for potential victims of the partial building collapse at 1915 Billingsley Terrace. They have gone through a large pile of debris, 12 feet high in spots, and found no victims. Two civilians sustained minor injuries during the evacuation.
At 3:05 pm today, Engine 246, Ladder 161, & Ladder 169 responded to Emmons Avenue at 23rd Street for a report of two people in the water in Sheepshead Bay. They were clinging to a dingy that was sinking. L-161 and L-169 both deployed rescue swimmers.
Firefighter Robert Velazquez returned to work at Engine 257, Ladder 170 on Monday after spending more than a year recovering from injuries sustained fighting a 3-alarm fire that took the life of fellow Firefighter Timothy Klein.
