June 21,2006 - At 23:30hrs the Griswold FD with mutual aid from Jewett City, Voluntown, Lisbon and The Taftville FAST repsonded to 36 Leah Ave for a Structure fire. Griswold's Car-155 (Jeff Poitras) was first on scene and reported heavy fire on side's "C" and "D". The occupant was out of the dwelling upon FD arrival and was later transported to the Backus Hopsital for eval. The fire grew in such intensity due to numereous oxygen bottles located in the area of the fire ignited. The fire was brought under control in 2 hours with no firefighters injuried.
Note:These photos were taken late due to me being at a earlier fire at the casino. I do not have photos of that fire due to a strict tribal policy of photo taking during incidents on the property. Maybe someone else may have some photos to share of that incident.
