At 11:38 PM on Thursday, December 4th the Colchester Fire Department with Bozrah Engine 126, Gardner Lake Tanker 127, Hebron Truck & Tanker 110, Lebanon Engine 206 & Tanker 106 with Columbia Squad 105 FAST & Tanker 105 were dispatched to 195 North Pond Way for a house fire. Engine 128 arrived at 11:45 with heavy fire from the Delta side and transmitted the second alarm.
The second alarm added Salem Engine 121, Marlborough Engine 117, East Hampton Engine 112 and Bozrah's Ladder 126.
Engine 128 stretched two lines and began fire attack while Tanker 128 nursed them. Truck 128 backed into the driveway and set up for defensive operations as fire consumed the home. Car 128 had command and told Engine 328 to establish the water supply on Windham Avenue. Fire was impinging on two 100 gallon propane tanks, so a crew cooled and secured them.
Ambulance 628 provided standby coverage while crews worked outside in the 15 degree weather. Oakdale covered Colchester Headquarters while Portland covered Westchester. The Colchester Fire Marshal's Office is investigating.
