Solution by Fire
Fire tore through the island on Long Beach in Stratford. Four cottages were a blaze with giant flames leaping into the air. The call came in around 4:30 Sunday afternooon; both Bridgeport and Stratford fire departments responded. Bridgeport was able to get 18 fire fighters onto the island on boats. But, they were only armed with shovels and hoes. There is no water on the island.

Shut It Down
“It is such a high priority for the FAA,” Cottrell said, stressing that the 4,800 foot runway, which has to be cleaned several times a day to prevent debris from getting into jet engines, has “out-aged its usefulness.” And because there is no safety zone, the airport has missed out on tens of millions of dollars in FAA support, some of which could have already repaved the airstrip.
