Connecticut Burn Center: Bridgeport Hospital

The newly renamed Connecticut Burn Center at Bridgeport Hospital is currently undergoing a $1.5 million dollar renovation. It is one of our region’s signature medical services with staff and facilities dedicated solely to the treatment of burns.

The Burn Center is one of only 58 burn centers in the United States and is recognized by the American College of Surgeons and the American Burn Association for meeting the most demanding national standards of burn care.

The Bridgeport Fire Department dates back to the 1790's. But Bridgeport became a fully paid Fire Department in 1912. A year later the Fire House of Engine 10 & Ladder 10 opened on Putnam Street, which gave it its nickname of "Camp Putnam." In 2006 Engine 10 & Ladder 10 moved to its new & present Fire House at 950 Boston Avenue. It's is still nicknamed "Camp Putnam" and is only a short distance from Putnam Street.

Engine 10 & Ladder 10 will be celebrating 100 years of continuous service to the East Side community in 2013. Muscular Dystrophy Association’s “Fill the Boot” Fund Raising Campaign this Summer. The Bridgeport Fallen Firefighters Foundation’s Annual Golf Tournament on September 13th.
