STONINGTON ESTATES STRUCTURE FIRE CITY OF NORWICH

February 26, 2007
The City Of Norwich was dispatched to this structure fire at 0645 this morning at Stonington Estates. Upon the arrival of the city companies heavy fire was visible from the second and third floors in the north end of the building. Truck 1 laddered the roof as companies hooked into the FD connection and started an aggressive interior attack. The fire overwhelmed the sprinkler system as it got into the attic, and then thru the roof. Shortly after a second alarm was transmitted bringing in the city volunteer dept.'s, and then I believe a third alarm for a water shuttle. A good portion of the building was destroyed by the fast moving fire. Assisting Norwich was; Taftville, Yantic, Laurel Hill, Occum, Preston City, Poquetanuck, Lisbon, East Great Plain, Mohegan Tribal FD, Mashantucket Fire, Canteen 1 and American Rehab.(sorry if I forgot a dept)
