All Personnel:

It is with regret that the Norwalk Fire Department announces the passing of Fire Chaplain Monsignor William Scheyd. Monsignor was sworn in as Fire Chaplain in 1969 and served as priest, friend, and counselor, to countless NFD personnel and their families over the next 56 years.

Whether it was a baptism, a marriage, a funeral, or a structure fire, Monsignor was always available to respond to the needs of our members. He will be greatly missed.

Department flags will remain at half-staff until the day of his funeral. Bunting will be displayed at all firehouses for the next thirty days.

A wake will be held on Monday 6/2 from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at St. Aloysius Church in New Canaan, CT.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated by Bishop Frank Caggiano on Tuesday 6/3 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Aloysius.

Uniform of the day is Class A with mourning badge.

Please keep Monsignor Scheyd in your prayers.

**PRESS RELEASE**

The City of Norwalk Fire Department responded to a structure fire in an apartment building at #5 Elmcrest Terrace on Saturday, May 10th at 11:07 pm. The initial dispatch was for smoke on the 2nd floor.

First arriving companies found heavy fire engulfing the 1st and 2nd floors on the front of the building, with possible people trapped inside. A 3rd alarm was immediately transmitted bringing all of Norwalk’s on duty firefighters to the scene. Due to the amount of fire in the front of the building, firefighters went over ladders and through windows to get to the interior to conduct their primary searches. A total of 3 attack lines were placed in service, all while the building was laddered, searched and ventilated. Firefighters were able to contain the fire to the front portion of the structure on both the 1st and 2nd floors. Overall, the building suffered severe fire, smoke, and heat damage throughout a good portion. The closed doors to the apartments prevented the fire from taking total control of the entire building.
All 34 on duty firefighters responded along with fire department staff chiefs and the Fire Marshal’s Division. Norwalk EMS provided an EMS standby for the firefighters operating on scene while mutual aid companies from Westport, New Canaan, Rowayton, and Stamford provided station coverage.

Currently, there are 8 families displaced totaling close to 20 people. 4 occupants were evaluated by Norwalk EMS but refused treatment.

The Norwalk Fire Marshal’s Division is investigating the cause of the fire.
