Coventry, RI - Western Coventry Fire Department crews responded on mutual aid to Central Coventry for a working structure fire, dispatching Engine Tanker 9 and Tanker 8.
Upon arrival, crews integrated into operations and established a reliable water supply, a key factor in sustaining suppression efforts in areas without immediate hydrant access.
With both tankers actively engaged, WCFD personnel supported fire attack operations by ensuring continuous water flow to operating units. Their coordinated efforts with neighboring departments helped maintain operational momentum and contributed to bringing the incident under control.
