|
|
|
|
Platoon 3 members were called to the scene of a house fire at 17 Carlin Street early in the morning of October 21, 2008. 2 occupants perished in the blaze that left the house totally destroyed. Article from the Norwalk Hour:
A Norwalk couple was killed during an early morning house fire at 17 Carlin Street. Joyce Hunt, 73, and her husband Norman, 67, died early Tuesday morning in the home they had lived in for 31 years.
Fire officials say the blaze, which was called in at approximately 1:18 a.m. Tuesday, was so intense that the entire home was gutted. Firefighters could not immediately get inside the house because the fire, reported at 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, was so intense.
The couple raised six children in the home, including five sons and a daughter, Donna Carballo, who lives in Stratford. Carballo said her parents did everything together and she remembers fondly the many Thanksgiving dinners at the house.
The fire remained under investigation Tuesday.

"I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a fireman. The position may, in the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one; but we who know the work which the fireman has to do believe that his is a noble calling. Our proudest moment is to save lives. Under the impulse of such thoughts, the nobility of the occupation thrills us and stimulates us to deeds of daring, even of supreme sacrifice."
Chief Edward F. Croker, FDNY circa 1910
