Fire destroys marching band instruments and equipment
Norwalk Advocate Staff reports
Published August 16 2007
NORWALK -- An early morning fire ripped through a field house at Andrew's Field destroying instruments, uniforms and equipment belonging to the Norwalk High School marching band. The fire was reported at 2:49 a.m. by a newspaper delivery man in the area.
When firefighters arrived, the field house was fully engulfed. Fire and police said the heat from the flames was so intense that a nearby trailer where uniforms are stored was also partially damaged.
Fire officials said power lines to the building melted and were sparking posing further danger to firefighters. Power crews deactivated the line once the blaze was brought under control.
Norwalk Marching Bears Band Director Jeff Smith told police that six instruments worth about $10,000 were destroyed. Other instruments stored in the nearby trailer were not damaged, Smith said.

"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
