Ledyard Firefighters Completed Suppression and Ventilation Operations

Ledyard, CT — October 23 — On Friday evening, the Ledyard Fire Company, stationed at Fairway Drive, deployed in conjunction with the Gales Ferry Volunteer Fire Company to address a reported fire involving a trailer at the residence located on Rose Marie Court. Upon receipt of an alert regarding a fire at a trailer, fire crews were mobilized; both departments deployed personnel and apparatus to manage the incident and augment resources for suppression efforts.
