At our Monthly CERT Meeting last evening we were proud to have 34 members present, including 11 graduates of our latest completed training. We were honored to have our Fire Chief, Shelly Carter, with us to provide the State of Connecticut Required, Loyalty Oath to all of the members present.

We also discussed the 2 major fires that took place over the last 3 days and how Hamden CERT Members assisted at both incidents with firefighter rehabilitation, assisting displaced residents and other needed logistical support. 💚 Thank you again to Chief Carter & all of our CERT Members who find the time to assist our 1st Responders & all members of our community.

Hamden CERT Volunteers were activated today for another emergency at a structure fire at 660 Mix Avenue. The incident happened a little after noon at a 6 story, non-fireproof, residential apartment building. All Hamden Fire Apparatus & Personnel were on scene for close to 3 hours, because of the many interior exposure concerns that required extensive overhaul operations.

With this being our 2nd Multiple Alarm Fire in the last 3 days, we thank our Mutual Aid Partners from all surrounding towns along with our Hamden Police. We also would like to thank the multiple AMR Units that were on scene to assist with the many individuals who were temporarily displaced during the fire suppression operations. Both of Hamden CERT Units were on scene to assist with firefighter rehabilitation and offering temporary sheltering needs for those who were displaced. Hamden CERT Units returned to service shortly after 15:30 hours.

On Tuesday evening, May 19th at 21:31 hours, Hamden Fire & Hamden CERT responded to multiple 911 calls for a residential structure fire on Winnett Street. On arrival of Engine 2, heavy fire was reported on the 1st and 2nd floors of the 2-1/2 wood structure. A 2nd Alarm was soon requested for heavy fire with exposure concerns.
Hamden CERT responded & set up a Rehab Station & assisted with air bottles for the many firefighters because of the elevated temperatures & humidity. Thank you to the many Mutual Aid Departments who responded to this 3 Alarm Fire along with Hamden PD & AMR who covered medical calls & assisted at the scene. Hamden CERT cleared the scene at 12:30 hours & returned to Station 2 for supplies.

Under clear, blue skies, 15 of our Hamden CERT Members gave up part of their weekend to help with our Spring-Cleaning Party, Training Session. Our members prepared both of our vehicles for the upcoming busy summer season of planned events.

All of our winter equipment was replaced with summer supplies & equipment as we finally started to get warmer days & evenings. Both vehicles were cleaned inside & out and are now ready to respond to any emergency or special event. Thanks again for coming out on a Saturday & special thanks to DD & Tobio for bringing breakfast for all of us! 💚
