New Haven HUD Properties 1991
Просмотров 1953 года назад
Similar to many other urban cities, New Haven saw a dramatic rise in vacant properties in the early 1990s. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued guidelines to cities on methods for sealing these properties to deter vandals and squatters. As the number of arson fires rose in these structures, it became apparent that operations were more difficult for firefighters to gain e...

Huge fan of NH FD last 60+ yrs...#1 fan in MN 🥶 of seagrave...since 1881!!
I wasn't born yet to see this fire truck and by the time I was it was already gone
Shreveport had white apparatus
Shreveport had air raid sirens too
I’ve only seen two agencies in my lifetime that had white apparatus, NHFD and Sunrise Golf Village VFD (now Sunrise Fire Rescue in FL with red apparatus now)
The apparatus was painted white during WW2 during the blackouts the city had due to being on the shore of Long Island Sound and with the large oil docks and Yale University. White apparatus is much more visible at night under blackout conditions, and red appears black at night. After the war ended the apparatus was kept white as it is to this day.
The last silent film produced.
I was down there that day with Engine 11 Div. 4 to assist with the demonstration. If my memory serves me there was a delegation of firefighters from Germany there along with their spouses. Matty the dog was amazing.
