Hi -- This is the blogspot for the neighborhood effort to Save Engine 8 at the Whitney Ave Fire Station.
Engine 8 is the only Fire Engine assigned to protect the East Rock neighborhood from fire and to provide first response to medical emergencies.
The City of New Haven, without consulting residents, is going to shut down Engine 8.
If this happens, the closest fire engine for East Rock will be downtown at the State Street station. Have you ever tried to get down State Street during traffic?
Should you be concerned about a fire? Only if you live in an old wooden house or in multifamily housing. Which is, like ..... EVERYONE in East Rock.
Need more info?
