On Sunday, July 26th, the LAFD was called out just before 6 PM to respond to a motor vehicle accident. The LAFD was initially requested to setup a landing zone for the LIFE STAR medical helicopter. Members responded with LA2 (engine) and LA51 (Utility) and provided landing zone safety and security.

LAFD units were also requested to aid with vehicle stabilization and to provide support with traffic control.

As the LAFD was clearing the accident scene just after 7:30 PM we were toned out for a smell of something burning in a residence on Bushy Hill Road. Investigation by on scene units found no smoke or fire inside the structure.

It is with great sadness that the Lost Acres Fire Department announces the passing of Lifetime Member and Retired Captain Scott Chamberlain.

Scott proudly served the Lost Acres Fire Department for more than 30 years. During his time with the department, he served as an officer at the Center Station, holding the ranks of Lieutenant and Captain for much of his career.

In addition to his service with the LAFD, Scott worked for the Town of Granby Public Works Department for 36 years. His knowledge and willingness to help often benefited the department, as "Scotty" could always be counted on to bring out the heavy equipment whenever it was needed at an emergency scene.

Our hearts go out to Scott's family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be deeply missed by the members of the Lost Acres Fire Department and the community he so faithfully served.

Rest easy, Captain Chamberlain. Thank you for your years of dedicated service. We’ll take it from here.

With all of the snow that we just got and the potential for more, this is a great reminder from our friends at the Connecticut Fire Academy

On Monday, January 19th, the LAFD was toned out just after 7:30 AM for a report of a room on fire at a residence on Lost Acres Road. While enroute, Granby Police dispatchers were receiving numerous 911 calls reporting an active fire. Based on these reports and the heavy column of smoke that was visible, mutual aid was requested from several towns before LAFD units were even on scene.

Granby Police officers arrived on scene first and reported heavy fire as well as the fact that the occupant of the residence was trapped on a 2nd floor porch with his two dogs.

The first arriving LAFD engine (LA4) immediately went into rescue mode once on scene and deployed a ladder to the porch to rescue the occupant and dogs. Crews then moved from rescue into fire suppression mode. The snow and the cold along with heavy contents within the structure created different challenges for the LAFD and mutual aid departments as they worked to extinguish the fire.

As with most parts of Granby, there are no hydrants in this section of town, so a water shuttle operation was setup using tankers. Tankers dropped their water to the working engines and then were filled at the dry hydrant on Northwoods Road.

There were no injuries reported and all fire units were clear of the scene around 11 AM. The Granby Fire Marshal office is investigating the blaze.

The LAFD would like to thank all the agencies listed below that assisted us with this fire.
The East Hartland Volunteer Fire Department
Southwick Fire Department
East Granby Vol. Fire Department
Simsbury Volunteer Fire Company
Pleasant Valley Vol. Fire Department
Suffield Fire Department

Granby CT Department of Public Works

(Thanks also to the residents on Apple Tree Lane for assisting the LAFD Auxiliary)

Firefighters were able to rescue the man and his two dogs safely.
