CENTRAL VILLAGE RUNS CANTERBURY
GARAGE FIRE
Sunday, February 24, 2008
- Shortly
after 12:00 hours QV dispatched the Canterbury Fire Department to a
garage fire on Westminster Road in their first due. The structure
fire assignment was filled out with mutual aid from Scotland, Central
Village, Plainfield for ET-295 and Moosup for a FAST response.
First arriving E-193 confirmed a working fire in a garage attached
to a 1-1/2 story wood frame ranch. Central Village units arrived
shortly after Station 93 with ET-197, ET-297 and eight (8) members.
As the crew from E-193 was advancing a handline into the living portion
of the structure preventing extension, the crew from ET-197
stretched an additional line and was ordered to extinguish the heavy
fire condition in the garage. Once all visible fire was knocked
down, Station 97 crews assisted with extensive overhaul. Central
Village units operated for just over two (2) hours before returning to
service.

TRANSFORMER FIRE & ANOTHER
ATTEMPTED
FAST DEPLOYMENT TO BROOKLYN
 Wednesday, February 13,
2008 - At 12:18 this
afternoon QV dispatched the Central Fire Co. to a transformer fire on
Kinney Hill Road in the area of River Street. Prior to ET-197
responding to Kinney Hill Road, QV notified Central Village units that
they would be utilized for a FAST response to Beecher Road in Brooklyn
for a basement fire. As the crew at St. 97 was about to split, one
to check the transformer fire and the other to go to Brooklyn, the
basement fire assignment was scaled back and handled by Mortlake and
East Brooklyn units only. With this development, ET-197 proceeded
to Kinney Hill Road where the involved transformer was located.
The area was secured until it was turned over to representatives from
the power company. ET-197 also made an investigation of a possible
electrical problem on Main Street near the intersection of East Main
Street. That proved to be unfounded. ET-197 returned to
quarters shortly after 14:00 hours.

from 96 & 97 to the scene. With the station well staffed, ET-197
