Occum Chimney Fire January 25, 2007 - Occum and Taftville were dispatched to a chimney fire on Canterbury turnpike. While units were enroute, there was some confusion by the caller whether the call was on Canterbury Turnpike or Old Canterbury Turnpike. Taftville Tower 25 arrived first at the Canterbury turnpike address an reported an active fire in the chimney. The remain assignment responded from the Old Canterbury turnpike address. The Tower crew was in the process of laddering the building while Taftville and Occum engine crews worked the inside of the building. The call went under control in about 45 minutes. The Norwich FMO is investigating. |
