Stonington House Fire

Stonington, CT – On the afternoon of March 24, 2007 firefighters from the Old Mystic and Wequetequock Fire Department responded to Pequot Trail for a report of a house fire. First arriving units from Old Mystic transmitted a first alarm for fire throughout a one and a half story wood frame. An aggressive interior attack was called off due to instability of the second floor and a numerous mutual aid tanks were called because of water supply issues. The fire was controlled in over two hours.
During overhaul of the building there was a partial collapse which trapped one firefighter. Rescue crews shored the collapse area and extricated the trapped firefighter who was transported with non life threatening injuries.
