Norwalk CT Fire

Storm Preparation starts now! Charge devices, get fresh batteries for flashlights. Secure out door items. This includes fuel cans and propane tanks. Check your smoke detector!

All appliances should be plugged directly into an outlet. Never use extension cords! Norwalk's FMO found this on an inspection.

The Governor has activated the Extreme heat protocol from 8 am Wednesday, August 11th until 8 pm Friday, August 13th. Stay Hydrated: Because your body loses fluids through sweat, you can become dehydrated during times of extreme heat.

Fire Department is operating on I-95 S/B south of exit 15 on a fuel spill. Expect traffic delays southbound.

Congratulations to 11 members promoted in the NFD!

Another TDA joining our fleet!

Last night NFD members assisted Eversource with a fire at their power station. Members used dry-chemical to extinguish the fire in a switch room once Eversource secured the power. No one was injured but many power outages were experienced around the city.

@NorwalkCtPD @Walmart Us too!
