At 2159 QV Dispatch started to receive multiple 911 calls reporting the house on fire at 47 Fairview Ave. in Jewett City. Jewett City and Griswold with Voluntown and Lisbon Tankers along with the Taftville Fast Team were the initial assignment. Upon the arrival of the first Jewett City Officer the house was already well involved, bringing Canterbury and Plainfield tankers to the scene. Multiple rounds of ammunition were heard exploding inside the residence as the fire was attacked from a defensive standpoint, and master stream devices were used to bring this fire under control. The homeowner said he was by his campfire, turned around and saw his house on fire. The Griswold FMO is investigating.
