TRUMBULL RAISES THE COLORS AS UNITED RIDE COMES THROUGH

8/29/2010- Today, members of the Long Hill FD assembled at Station 1, Station 2 and Marisa's Restaurant parking lot in preparation for the 10th Annual CT United Ride. The CT United Ride is an event that honors everyone who was lost in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. This year the ride also honored Bridgeport FD Lt. Steven Valasquez and FF Michel Baik who tragically lost their lives at a structure fire on July 24, 2010. Long Hill 204 and Trumbull Center 104 set up and hung a large American Flag over the street in front of Marisa's. Truck Companies from Nichols, Paugussett Hook & Ladder (Derby) and Echo Hose Hook & Ladder Co. (Shelton) also hoisted flags over the parade route in front of the restaurant. Members from Long Hill also staffed the firehouses for the duration of the ride and had the apparatus on the front ramps to show our support for the rider's. The CT Post is reporting that 2500 motorcycles attended the event. Thanks to everyone who came out to support the ride! (Photo courtesy of J. Grout)
