SOUTH WINDSOR, CT - SWFD was dispatched to a house fire on Friday, July 25th just after 2:00 P.M., during extremely high temps of 95-degrees with a heat index at 102-degrees, and a limited water supply.
Fire Chief Kevin Cooney arrived first and found cars in the yard, with no one outside. He made entry from the opposite of the home for a search, but was forced back due to the volume of fire throughout the first floor.
This was a very stubborn fire with limited interior access due to hoarding conditions and a large fire load.
