FRANKLIN, CT - At 7:13 P.M. on Sunday, April 26th, the Franklin FD was dispatched to Route 32 near 207 for multiple trailers on fire. While responding, units were updated that the trailers were well involved and spreading to brush. The first-alarm assignment was filled out, which brought in South Windham, Baltic, Bozrah, Lebanon and Yantic. Tanker 125 arrived at 7:25 P.M. and stretched (two) one-and-three-quarter inch lines. Engine 225 arrived next and stretched a one-and-three-quarter inch line to fight the brush fire. Bozrah Tanker 126 nursed Franklin’s Engine and crews overhauled the remains. Franklin’s Fire Marshal is investigating.
