New London Fire Department (Connecticut)

The New London Fire Department is a career department serving the City of New London, Connecticut. The NLFD serves one of the smallest towns landwise in Connecticut - just over 6 square miles - and a population of 30,000. Other hazards the NLFD responds to are several colleges, including the Coast Guard Academy, a built-up downtown, the various ferries running out of the historic waterfront, and a large municipal beach on Long Island Sound.
