Truck 1 performed the primary search and performed ventilation. Poquetanuck Engine 11 and East Great Plain Rescue 5 provided scene support while the Mohegan Tribe served as the FAST.

One civilian was transported by American Ambulance with minor injuries, and the Norwich Fire Marshal's Office is investigating.
