2 Deepwoods Dr - Yantic

May 14, 2007 - At around 17:15hrs - Norwich Fire was receiving numerous 911 calls reporting a working structure fire at #2 Deepwoods Dr. While Yantic was responding, units could see a column of black smoke in the distance, an upgrade to the alarm assignment was East Great Plains, Bozrah, Taftville and 4 additional tankers. The 1st two Yantic engines took the driveway and crews took one shot at an quick knock down and interior attack. At that time, the front windows failed causing the fire to intensify and over take the home. A report of firefighters down was transmitted, but turned to be a firefighters foot went thru the rear porch, just as a hoseline blew in the rear. An evacuation was ordered and defensive operation under way. Due to good ground conditions in front of the house, Taftville's Tower 25 was ordered to the front lawn for masterstreams. The home was a total loss, no firefighters or civilians were injured but a dog and 2 cats perished
