The Friday Facebook post from the Derby Fire Department.
DERBY – The Derby Fire Department took to Facebook Friday (March 7) to ask members of the Derby tax board to “show up” for a meeting so the department could replace the brakes on a ladder truck.
“We, the Derby Fire Department, are patiently waiting for the city to allocate funds around so we can fix the brakes on the only ladder truck in the city,” the post read. “As it sits in the firehouse for close to three weeks with no progress from the city to move the funds for emergency vehicles.”
Tax board meetings scheduled for Feb. 25 and March 4 had been canceled.

BRIDGEPORT – A career criminal who held a 12-year-boy at knifepoint while robbing a cash register was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison March 5.
Lonny Cross, 46, of Bristol, showed “disdain for the victims’ humanity and the rule of law,” according to a memo submitted to the court by Acting U.S. Attorney Marc H. Silverman and Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert S. Ruff.
Cross robbed 35 gas stations, convenience stores and liquor stores during a spree in September and October 2022, including the Henny Penny on Route 67 in Seymour. He also had two attempted robberies.
