June 13, 2006 - At around 12:15hrs Norwich's Squad-A was dispatched to IFO 140 Broad St for a car vs fire hydrant w/injuries. while enroute "the Squad" came across a car vs fire hydrant IAO 150 Washington St by Broad St. American transported the occupants BLS to Backus while the Squad check for hazards from the car. The fire hydrant was flowing water and Norwich public utilities were on scene to control the water.
Note: since Washington st is a highly traveled road by casino patrons, numerous times have 911 callers given the wrong location of incidents due to being unfamiliar with the area as most of us know!
