Greeneville, CT - At 6:19 P.M. on Saturday, August 1st, the Norwich Fire Department was dispatched to 90 Sixth Street for flames coming from the attic.
Engine 2 arrived at 6:22 P.M. and reported fire showing from the third floor 'Charlie' side. The crew stretched a one-and-three-quarter inch hose line through the front door up the interior stairs. Crews dealt with hoarding conditions while stretching the dry line to the third floor.
Engine 2 made a push through the attic while Truck 1 cut a hole for vertical ventilation. Squad A hand-jacked five-inch supply line down the hill to the hydrant and established the water supply. Engine 3's crew stretched a second line from Engine 2 and hit some fire that had dropped down onto the porch roof.
Crews were able to quickly open the knee walls which prevented the fire from extending to the front of the house. The Mohegan Tribal Fire Department provided the FAST and the Norwich Fire Marshal's Office is investigating.
