Retired Wilton Fire Department veteran to be honored with Hall of Fame induction: ’It was a career’
A retired 40-year veteran of the Wilton Fire Department will be honored with induction into the Connecticut State Firefighters Association’s Hall of Fame next month. Jim Gies, who retired in 2018 with the rank of captain, was nominated by his former department for the recognition. “Capt. Jim Gies is one of the individuals who helped get the Wilton Fire Department where it is today,” said James P. Blanchfield, Wilton's fire chief and emergency management director. “Jim always, and still has, a passion for the fire service, and in particular, training. Many of us here currently had the good fortune to work for Jimmy. He represented the town, the department and the fire service as a whole with integrity and professionalism. The Hall of Fame induction is a long time coming and well earned,” Blanchfield said.

Connecticut first responders offer insight on Baltimore Bridge collapse search
VIDEO: Local first responders in Connecticut shed light on the technology utilized by emergency crews in Baltimore to search for missing individuals following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge. In Branford, Deputy Fire Chief Mike Stackpole showed News 8 a critical tool crews use for water rescues on its boats, called sonar. “Before this technology, we would only be able to see what’s on the surface of the water so we would look for boat parts, car parts, whatever we were looking for floating or people, but now we can see underwater as well,” Stackpole said. Stackpole emphasized the effectiveness of sonar, which his department has been using for about five years, in generating imagery by interpreting soundwaves bounced back from underwater objects.

Fire found in pile of laundry at South Windsor business
A fire was found in a pile of laundry at a business in South Windsor early Wednesday morning and the fire marshal is working to determine if the business can reopen. Firefighters were alerted to the fire at Unitex by the fire alarm. The business on S. Satellite Road is a laundry service. Crews found heavy smoke in the building. Firefighters said there was no visibility in the building, which made finding the fire difficult, but the sprinkler system was activated. According to fire officials, the fire was found in a pile of laundry. It was put out quickly and was contained to the area. The crews aired out the remaining smoke and have overhauled the affected area. The gas and electricity have been temporarily turned off at the building. The fire marshal is working to determine if the business can reopen.
