March 10, 2007 - Just after noon Norwich Platoon 1 was dispatched to a kitchen fire at 23 Whitaker Ave. Crews arrived to find a working fire in a 1.5 stry wd dwelling. Eng-3 stretched a 1 3/4 line on the fire. A report of a child trapped on the #2 flr was transmitted sending a search team to the #2 flr. Primary search was negative and the child was found safely at a neighbors house. This street is a small narrrow road off Laurel Hill Ave. Norwich Truck 1 was unable to make this road so the Truck 1 crew, FAST Team and EMS had to hike up this long narrow road. 1 Norwich firefighter was injuried, we wish him good luck and a speedy recovery.
