CT Firefighters Pipes & Drums Benefit for Chris O'Brien.

Many of you many remember our brother Chris O'Brien from our raffel this past fall. On July 27th 2011, Chris, a Firefighter and Member of the Trumbull Vol. Fire Company #1 Inc. suffered a severe neck and spinal injury while vacationing in Block Island. A 2010 graduate of Trumbull High School, Chris had just completed his Freshman year as a Division I swimmer at the College of Charleston. Initially the injury left him paralyzed from the neck down, however Chris is a fighter through and through and has made great strides on the long road to recovery! Over the past several months Chris has regained movement and feeling in the majority of his upper body, however there is still a lengthy journey for him as he is determined to walk again.
Chris's story has been heard by many, and support from our friends in the surrounding communities has been fantastic! The Trumbull Vol. Fire Co. #1 Inc. Family is proud to announce that our friends and brother's in the Connecticut Firefighters Pipes and Drums have chosen Chris to sponsor in their annual fundraising event to help a Firefighter in need! We extremely excited and honored by this decision. It is proof of the true brotherhood of the fire service.

This years event will take place at Tiago’s  Bar and Grill, 211 State Street, Bridgeport from 1pm-9pm. Tickets for entry will be $10. Once inside guests will be able to purchase food and drink off the menu as well as enjoy performances by the Connecticut Firefighters Pipe and Drums, 50/50 raffles, and much more. All of the proceeds from ticket sales will be donated directly to Chris as well as a portion of the food and beverage sales to help offset the financial costs that Chris and his family are facing as his rehabilitation and recovery continues. A good time is sure to be had by all and we look forward to seeing you all there! Tickets may be purchased online* using the Google checkout above and will be available for pickup on the day of the event at Tiago's. We thank you for your generous donations in helping us support our brother firefighter in his time of need!

*Online purchases are subject to $0.50 processing fee per ticket to cover costs associated with using Google checkout.

On Saturday, April 7th (yes, the day before Easter!) the members of all three departments in town held a live fire training scenario for the firefighter 1 students. This was held at Fairfield Fire School and was meant to give the students a taste of some heat, smoke, and fire.

On the afternoon of Friday, April 6th, Trumbull Center was dispatched to Avalon Gates for the reported brush fire. Trumbull Car 1, Engine 103, and Service 107 (our brush truck) responded. Upon arrival, the fire was found to be out, and crews spent a few minutes wetting down the area and overhauling.

On Saturday 3/31 and Sunday 4/1, Trumbull Center hosted the "Basic Pump Ops" Class run by the Connecticut Fire Academy. This is a two day combination of classroom and hands on pump training. Trumbull Center had 4 members take part in the class, with a total of 13 from around the state. A big thanks to the instructors that taught and the members that gave away their weekends to train!

With the lack of rain, warm temperatures, low humidity, and gusty winds, there is a Red Flag warning issued for brush fires. This means that there is absolutely no outside burning, as fires can burn easily and spread quickly. If you see any fire outside, whether it is attended to or not, please call 911. Even a small fire outside can quickly spread to woods or a house.
