Montville Home Well Involved on Arrival

This article is a direct street report from our correspondent and has not been edited by the 1st Responder newsroom.

At 3:23 this morning the Town of Montville Fire Departments were dispatched to 20 Kitemaug Road for a house fire. At 3:25 a Montville Police Officer arrived reporting the home to be well involved so M-1 requested the second alarm.


Engine 21 arrived at 3:31 reporting a 2 story wood frame house about 3/4s involved. They laid a supply line up the driveway and lead off with the deck gun. Ladder 15 arrived next and set up for defensive operations. Tribal Engine 1 then tied into the line at the bottom of the driveway. Engine 12 reverse laid from the scene to a hydrant on the corner of Route 32 and Massapeag Road.


At 3:38, Engine 21 reported a partial collapse. Norwich Truck 1 set up for defensive operations from the street so New London FAST was added. Tankers responded from Oakdale, Chesterfield, Preston, East Great Plain, Gales Ferry, Salem & Gardner Lake. The Canteen responded with refreshments and the Montville Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating.
