At
03:34hrs this am East Great Plains FD was dispatched to 598 West Main
St for a reported fully involved building fire. Car-5 arrived and had
fire self venting out the D side of a commercial strip mall. 1st due
crews made a good quick knockdown but due to clutter conditions, the
fire had time to run the walls and roof line causing it to consume the
attic areas of the building. A 3rd alarm assignment brought fire
companies from Norwich, Yantic, Taftville, Laurel Hill, and the Mohegan
Tribal FAST to the scene. it took 2 hours to bring the fire under
control. The cause is under investigation by Norwich FMO.
