At 9:40 am on Wednesday, 8/5/26 the Lebanon Fire Department with mutual aid from Columbia Engine 105, Marlborough Engine 117, Tanker 117, Tanker 217, Colchester Engine 128, Hebron Squad 210, Mansfield Tanker 307, Bolton Tanker 234 and Uconn FAST were dispatched to 36 Ledge Road for a golf cart fire that extended to the house. Car 206 arrived reporting a propane tank on fire with the exterior of the home burning.
Squad 210 stretched an 1.75" hose line and prevented the fire from extending inside. Engine 128 arrived next and nursed Hebron's Squad. Majority of the mutual aid was released about 20 minutes into the incident. At 10:32, the propane tank caught fire again so Lebanon was retoned for Tanker 106. Franklin Tanker 125 was also added and assisted with water supply. The Lebanon Fire Marshal's Office is investigating.
