Responding on the assignment was Engine 21, Engine 25, Truck 22, and Car 68. Upon arrival, they made quick work of the fire, knocking it down and preventing any extension to other structures. Thankfully, no civilians or firefighters were injured and the exact cause of the fire remains under investigation.

A United States Navy veteran and retired 25-year veteran of the West Haven Police Department, Mr. Reed died on January 19th. He was 86 years old. From 1956-1960, his service in the Navy saw him serve as a Third-Class Petty Officer aboard the span classcaps>USS/span> Aucilla AO-56. Joining the police department soon after, his quarter century spent keeping the citizens of West Haven safe, he distinguished himself as a respected and valued officer. After his retirement, his service continued as he worked as an investigator for the Connecticut State’s Attorney. His commitment to serving others is something he passed down to his family. His son Chris Reed, retired as a Deputy Chief in the City of West Haven-Allingtown Fire District, his granddaughter Brittany currently serves as a West Haven Police Officer, and his grandson Alec is currently a firefighter with the City of West Haven-Allingtown Fire District. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and thank him for everything he did for our city./p>  div styleclear:both>/div>/div>      /li>      li idheading_item_272930 classheading_item >        div classitem_container h1>  h1>Members Respond To An Electrical Box Alarm/h1>/div>      /li>      li idtextblock_item_272931 classtextblock_item >        div classitem_container>  ul idtextblock_item_272931-image_data_map_single_1 classdd_sortable dd_image image_data_maps_connect dd_image_data_map_align_left post_arg-image_data_map-align-left dd_image_data_map_list_single post_arg-image_data_map-width-125 post_arg-image_data_map-height-125 post_arg-singleton_position-1 stylewidth:125px; height:125px;>    li idimage_data_map_136180 classimage_data_map>      span class stylebackground: transparent url(https://dzimages.herokuapp.com/img/19c58ec/05e245d/size_extent/125/125/Park_Avenue_-_1.jpg) no-repeat center center; width: 125px; height: 125px; display:block data-largeimageurlhttps://dzimages.herokuapp.com/img/19c58ec/05e245d/size/550/550/Park_Avenue_-_1.jpg data-imagesetpage_16667>/span>    /li>/ul>  p>Scenes from last week as members of D-Shift were dispatched to a box alarm in the area of Park and Savin for a possible electrical fire in a home.

If one thinks they can handle it alone, they’re sadly mistaken. While each individual possesses strengths that make them highly skilled at what they do, it’s when working together and combining those skills that we are truly at our best. Such is the case when it comes to moving hose. As demonstrated during this training session at the New Haven Fire School, while one firefighter handles putting out the fire with ample water supply, the other assists in making sure the line advances. This is key because it lessens the possibility of snags or the line getting stuck, compromising operations, while ensuring the line is always where it needs to be. It’s essential details in the fire service like these that we always make sure we train on./p>  div styleclear:both>/div>/div>      /li>      li idheading_item_272860 classheading_item >        div classitem_container h1>  h1>span classcaps>SPOTLIGHT/span> ON: Captain Andrew “Andy” Bennett/h1>/div>      /li>      li idtextblock_item_272861 classtextblock_item >        div classitem_container>  ul idtextblock_item_272861-image_data_map_single_1 classdd_sortable dd_image image_data_maps_connect dd_image_data_map_align_left post_arg-image_data_map-align-left dd_image_data_map_list_single post_arg-image_data_map-width-125 post_arg-image_data_map-height-125 post_arg-singleton_position-1 stylewidth:125px; height:125px;>    li idimage_data_map_136149 classimage_data_map>      span class stylebackground: transparent url(https://dropzite-images.s3.amazonaws.com/img/a3ccd62/42658b9/size_extent/125/125/Bennett_-_3.jpg) no-repeat center center; width: 125px; height: 125px; display:block data-largeimageurlhttps://dzimages.herokuapp.com/img/a3ccd62/42658b9/size/550/550/Bennett_-_3.jpg data-imagesetpage_16667>/span>    /li>/ul>  p>span classcaps>SPOTLIGHT/span> ON: Captain Andrew “Andy” Bennett.
