4 Days In Kentland

March 27, 2007

Before the start of the CT Fire Officers Weekend 3 of us from Central Village ventured down to 7701 Landover Rd(Kentland Volunteer Fire Dept), in Kentland,MD. This is the second time in as many years we've gone down there. The guys were great, but as usual, we brought a white cloud with us. During the 4 days there was about 110 runs to be taken in. 11 accidents, 4 house fires(1 first due), about 8 brush fires, a lot of local fire alarms, 1 natural gas leak, 1 unfounded shooting and a slew of the usual medicals and assaults. It was kind of tough to take pictures of the incidents because the speed in which everything is done, is about 5times as fast as up here. *INCIDENT PICTURES AND A RIDE ALONG VIDEO COMING SOON*

Mohegan, Montville, Oakdale, Mohegan Tribe, and the Sub Base FAST battled this fire at Smurfit Stone, 125 Depot Rd. in Montville this morning. I don't have much information other than a second hand report that the fire was in a paper dryer and had extended into the cockloft area of the mill.

Elm St Structure Fire Baltic

March 15, 2007
Baltic, Occum, Franklin and the Mohegan Tribe FAST responded to this structure fire on Elm St, off of Main St, in Baltic this morning. A heavy amount of smoke was issuing from the residence upon the arrival of the first due Baltic units and 2, 1.75 handlines were stretched from ET-124. Fire was located on the first floor and knocked down while crews checked the basement. Some fire was found in the basement and knocked down while crews started overhauling. It was a good stop made by all saving the residence, and thanks again to Dana Peloso for alerting me to the past 2 house fires.

The Dayville Fire Dept responded to Owen Bell Park for fire in a 3 bay maintenance garage. First arriving companies were meet with heavy fire conditions, and a plume of smoke that I could see from exit 89 in Plainfield. The fire was quickly knocked down, but as you can see the garage and its contents were a total loss. Assisting Dayville was; East Killingly, Williamsville, and Pomfret.
