Engine 8 fights fires and provides basic life support in emergencies.
In 2010, Engine 8 responded to over 1600 calls.
New Haven has 10 fire stations. Each one has a fire engine designated with a "home" territory where they provide first response for fire and medical emergencies. The home territory of Engine 8 is the northern section of the city.
Engine 8 covers on of the largest territories assigned to any engine, and one of the most densely populated.
Without Engine 8, the East Rock neighborhood (including Sohu, Science Hill, and Prospect Streets) will be the ONLY fire station in New Haven without a designated "home" fire engine.
