At 10:01 P.M. on August 27th, a fire was reported in the Spice Hill condos. On arrival fire units were met with fire on the back deck of one of the condos extending into eaves and burning actively in the attic. With an aggressive attack with 2 hand lines and the truck company opening the roof made quick work of this fire and brought it under control relatively quickly. All Wallingford career and volunteer units were at this fire as well as mutual aid from Meriden for a RIT team. No injuries were reported. Possible cause of the fire is electrical and is still being investigated by the Wallingford FMO.
