At 3:26 pm on Saturday, 11/2/2024 the Norwich Fire Department with Taftville Tower 25 and Laurel Hill Engine 62 were dispatched to 11 Third Street for a kitchen fire. Engine 2 arrived at 3:28 with smoke showing from the first floor and transmitted the working fire. Engine 2 stretched a 1.75” hose line through the front door where they found the kitchen and a bedroom burning with hoarding conditions.
Squad A established the water supply from a hydrant on Central Avenue and then deployed a line to the second floor. Engine 3 stretched a line to the A/D corner and suppressed the fire that was going up the exterior. Truck 1 threw ladders and performed horizontal ventilation. Tower 25 searched the second floor while East Great Plain Rescue 5 filled cylinders.
Battalion 1 was operations while Squad A-X was operations. The Mohegan Tribal Fire Department provided the FAST and the Norwich Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating.
