LAST ALARM JUNE 5, 1962

64 years ago today, NVFD Firefighter Francis Kochanowicz lost his life in the line of duty. Please join us in remembering and honoring his service and sacrifice.

On June 5, 1962, Firefighter Francis Kochanowicz, 25, was killed and five other firefighters injured when their fire engine rolled over at the intersection of Main Street and New Britain Avenue. The accident occurred during a rain storm while Engine #1 was returning from a reported car fire at the intersection of Willard and New Britain Avenues. It took firefighters several minutes to extricate Francis, who was pinned under the vehicle. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Hartford Hospital.

Firefighter Kochanowicz was employed by the Newington Board of Education in the maintenance department, a member of St. Mary’s Church, and the Polish American Club.

In 2003, the stretch of New Britain Avenue from the accident site to its intersection of Willard Avenue was renamed “Francis Kochanowicz Memorial Highway” in his honor.
