For the second time in a generation, the meeting rooms at the Humphrey fire station (Station 2) became a temporary classroom for Hamden grammar school students displaced by fire. Lille Larsen Peters, formerly of Hamden, was a 4th grader at Church Street School when the fire occured. She recalled attending classes at the Circular Avenue fire station until repairs were completed at Church Street.
