WINDHAM COUNTY FIRE SHOTS: Structure Fire 219 Broad St Danielson

August 16, 2007
Minutes before 0200 QV Dispatch put out the first alarm structure fire assignment for the Danielson Fire Dept bringing; Moosup L-194 FAST, Williamsville, East Brooklyn and Dayville to the scene. ET-161 secured its own water source at Broad and Potter, and an aggressive interior attack was started. The fire had already made its way to the second and third floors, as well as the roof so the evacuation signal was sounded. All crews were accounted for and master streams were set in place. The Moosup Ladder was put to work right away on the "C" side of the building so the Atwood Hose FAST team was started. After the bulk of the fire was knocked down crews re-entered the building cautiously as most of the floors were extremely spongy and burned through. Extensive overhaul and manpower was needed so Attawaugan and South Killingly were requested to the scene. The house was reported to be vacant and for sale at the time of the fire. The Killingly FMO with assistance from the State FMO are investigating.
