Baltic House Fire Mid-2002

Since fire activity in the area is slow, I figured I would post this fire that happened sometime in 2002. This fire was originally a bedroom fire on Lucier Ct in Baltic off Rt-207 by MS Chambers Mill. At the time Willimantic dispatched Baltic, Franklin and Occum to this address. Upon arrival of Baltic ET-124, an interior attack was started but 5 minutes into the attack, the room flashed and crews had to back out. Mutual Aid was requested from Lisbon,Bozrah, Scotland and Mohegan Tribal FAST. Water supply was limited in this area of town. Scotland HT-116 laid a 5" line from the scene to the Shetucket River and Lisbon Chief Robinson had a great tanker shuttle going but it was not enough for this Baltic Mill House.
