Secret Abandoned Connecticut Government Facility- Found Military Vehicles, Fire Truck & Sunken Yacht

[@jerryrusinko1219]

A lot of smaller fire departments with budgets to match could have found great value in that truck at one time. Really sad to see it just rotting away.

[@kennyk3989]

The problem might be between ISO FEMA PEOSHA OSHA and what ever else has guidelines it may have been only good as a parade unit. But your right a small budget district or township could replace the 40+y.o. unit they run first due now…

[@HM2SGT]

@@kennyk3989meh. Change the tires and the fluids, repack the pump and Bob's your uncle.

[@EastCoastFireBuff]

That firetruck can be refurbished and be given to a local volunteer department

[@wes11bravo]

Whomever smashed all the vehicle windows for no reason needs to be punched repeatedly in the balls.

[@KingOfExploring]

I agree!

[@nicholaswetherell8599]

Or the twat.

[@thieltech1]

Agree

[@johnm2056]

Odd phenomenon that glass can break on its own from cooling and heating cycles. Vehicles driven don't have this problem as the road vibration helps remove the thermal stress. Parked vehicles with non safety glass such as these the thermal changes can fracture the glass.

[@mikeklinger1712]

I don't understand the concept of destroying the windows or the graffiti in these abandoned buildings!

[@jeffreykruse3696]

Why must people vandalize things that really pisses me they can't just take pictures and admire things the way they are

[@IDABAYAREA650I]

*Usually teenagers*

[@frostyhighway9011]

Yes and what gives them that right to vandalize other people stuff even if those people are dead, or abandoned for that matter.

[@garethraven3933]

Anything for a cheap thrill , let's smash the windows, FFS leave it how it is.

[@TimSmith-uc4pk]

It is sad to see that engine sitting there rotting away.

[@corywebber330]

Whats the license plate and vin on that dodge dakota tuck the hole placement of that truck is just realy odd to me

[@radarmike6713]

The military truck are Canadian. They are called MLVW (Medium Load Vehicle Wheeled) First one is a tractor or Semi Tractor, second one has a dental, medical or administrative box. I'd have to see the interior of the box attachment to know which though. I used those in the Canadian Airforce with the comms module on them.

[@jcdenton6074]

Those are US M35 Trucks, not Canadian.

[@bower31]

Canada used US trucks for a long period of time

[@richardfredericks4069]

The "Quin 3" on the fire truck means it's both a pumper truck & a ladder truck, it served multiple rolls.

[@KingOfExploring]

Hi Richard, thank you for the info!

[@code3responsevideos872]

To be more precise it is a Quint which means it meets 5 Nfpa requirements for ground ladders, hoses, water pump, tank, and aerial ladder

[@118racermurdock2]

Quint

[@williamsizemore8569]

That truck is an ex Danbury Quint 3 I believe.

[@bestcoins6806]

that fire truck is the exact same as all the engines my local fire department uses. weird to see one sitting abandoned.

[@EastCoastFireBuff]

It probably isn’t the same but maybe the same brand and type because that looked like a Lance squirt

[@EastCoastFireBuff]

Please excuse my firetruck knowledge

[@cruz25617]

Swear if i had the space, I'd take all of these trucks and completely restore them.

[@leighmonty13]

Technically if the place is abandoned ain't those vehicles up for grabs ?

[@boatguy42016]

No these actually belong to my boss and we have cameras up and linked to nktwich police so stay off the property people

[@MikeJones-yl5ci]

What would you do with them anyway? No title means you’d never drive them so why would you even think that way?

[@Greengoblin0481]

@@MikeJones-yl5citheyed make nice farm trucks

[@citizen23606]

You could file for abandoned vehicle title you would have to send a certified letter to the owner if the owner doesn't respond go to the next step

[@nickpatrick1636]

​@@boatguy42016yha right Karen that'd False 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@harryedmunds6652]

M52A2 Semi Tractor. Just like the one I drove in the US Army.

[@iamcondescending]

That Dodge Dakota looks like a personal vehicle... Probably stolen and dumped.

[@KingOfExploring]

Yes, that is what I was thinking.

[@TimSmith-uc4pk]

It is a Pierce Lance Tele Squrt. Probably about 50 to 55ft. Maybe an 80's or 90's.

[@rickrodgers7805]

Its an 80s model of a Pierce Lancer Quint

[@Ord_Wingate]

So many would love those old vehicles for reenactments etc

[@LaSierraAcresQuailFarm]

that army expansabale truck is worth some $$

[@PigpenTheOneAndOnly]

I’ve been meaning to make it here before someone vandalizes it any more. Glad I made it to Abercrombie Castle before it was torched the other day.

[@lexiew1360]

love this place! have you noticed the truck that is always there?

[@KingOfExploring]

Yes! I think the guy lives in the old security booth.

[@leewilson6838]

The Pierce Lance TS appears to be from a military base. ??? Late 80's early 90's model.

[@KingOfExploring]

Hi Lee, Thank you for the info. I had no clue except that they were some kind of military vehicle. Thank you for watching!

[@Looknorth802]

You should check to see if there's a bunker underneath or on the premises.

[@andyderby150]

Yea I don’t get the whole let’s break the glass out of everything? Or vandalism?i guess it’s an urban thing I grew up in/near the country but went in old houses and buildings we should not have been in but never destroyed everything we see.

[@mandakettle42088]

That was where EB paving shop was before them moved. Norwich CT

[@DJPLAST2]

Is that a city or county owned property? Was the Dakota towed there and hidden after a police shooting? Seems odd, it is fairly new.

[@MissNayNay22]

This is so awesome 👏 yet another awesome video

[@KingOfExploring]

Thank you so much!

[@JerryMoore-y6b]

that M-52 TRACTOR other M-109 SHOP TK

[@ClipperProductions-he4xh]

Where is the location of this facility?

[@raleighncfirebuff6773]

I honestly would have taken the fire truck and then make it my property cuz it still looks good just needs a few repairs

[@synystercustomcars]

That Mohegan sun in the back lol

[@paulanunn2713]

Where in CT is this at like what town

[@williamfoster4710]

I think most people would say you stumbled upon an abandoned scrap yard

[@camperghini]

If you find some wacky old vehicles that look like they might drive once again with a little bit of elbow grease let us know that’s our thing anywhere in the world we will bring it home 😊

[@boatguy42016]

Those are my bosses trucks we bought this property not for sale and all these feeds have been sent to nkrwich police those trucks were stolen and with this video norwich police and ct state police will be making there rounds now way to go idiots make my job easier to find my shit or atleast fuck your days up

[@abandonedroadside]

All cleared out now

[@KingOfExploring]

Oh $hit! They must be trying to sell or lease it out again.

[@danzmitrovich6250]

Attention ritchie bros auctioneers and customers you can always sell them all there at anytime make the call to police and ask if you want to salvage them

[@gp40railfan44]

Where was this?

[@bnr30]

next to ur moms house

[@jamespaluch3481]

That water has a lot of oil in it

[@michaelpalm2210]

somebody bought some surplus military trucks and a fire truck, then stored or dumped them there. They probably could have been restored, but somebody ran out of $$$$............nice find. somebody will probably end up scrapping them.......sad. Wonder who owns the property?

[@suburbanshutterbug8326]

Brilliant video as always mate! Looked like a sweet explore 😎 I took a brief break from here so I have alot of catching up to do on your videos 👏

[@KingOfExploring]

Glad you’re back! Thank you for the kind words. I have some new stuff that you might like. Let me know what you think.

[@nicholaswetherell8599]

What g Happened to all of your videos 📹?

[@KingOfExploring]

I will explain when I am able to.🥲

[@nicholaswetherell8599]

Thanks I really appreciate it. Have a nice weekend.

[@SprayboyBoeskoolcity]

how long is this abandoned?

[@chriscoon1382]

I wonder if it was a military base at one time then later a storage facility until they abandoned it🤔

[@richardmumford2708]

So the vandals took out the wind shield and headlight ..but not the gauge

[@KingOfExploring]

Pretty much. They probably are clueless. Just want to destroy.

[@PapawsDadillacOEMplus]

Damn, live 5 mins from here and never knew this existed

[@KingOfExploring]

You should def check it out. It was a fun explore. Lots to see here. Thank you for watching!

[@LaSierraAcresQuailFarm]

where is this??

[@frostyhighway9011]

Your TAX Dollars Gone To The DUMPS?

[@thedave83]

I live close by a paving company used ti as there shop for a few years

[@KingOfExploring]

Yes. Some of this property was used for a paving company at one point in time.

[@mjkay8660]

gov will let it rot before they sell it or donate

[@jasonwojnar9673]

Where is this storage facility? Date time group explored

[@hulkhoganstights6596]

Norwich, ct

[@jayhopkins1932]

What’s funny is I’m literally watching this down the street from there right now I found your videos on a whim freaky

[@tiptoe38]

I got one of those Dakota sports,it is gray though.Its still run,a 2001 model.

[@KingOfExploring]

I'm not surprised those Dakota Sports had like a 4 out of 5 star rating back then. I think someone dumped that Dakota there after the facility went abandoned. Then people vandalized it while it was sitting there.

[@RxDjoshieslayer]

They look like movie props that havevandalized

[@TheAustralia24]

you should try to restore thev fire truck

[@gearreviewwithswampy5794]

The fire truck is a quint it part engine and ladder
