FIRST DUE TRAILER HOME FIRE
Sunday, March 23, 2008
- At 22:40 hours QV dispatched a structure fire assignment for the
Central Village Fire Co. Callers reported a well-involved vacant
trailer home on Black Hill Road across the street from Station 97.
Companies filling out the assignment were Moosup, Atwood Hose, and a
FAST response from Plainfield. Deputy Chief LaPierre (C-197) was
the first officer to reach the scene at 22:43 and confirm the callers'
reports. "Central Village Command" was established, and ET-197
arrived only moments later. Due to the distance off the road the
residence sat, and a driveway inaccessible by any fire apparatus, the
crew from ET-197 stretched a 300' 1-3/4" pre-connect to the front
of the structure. Although units arrived so quickly, fire
conditions dictated a defensive operation. The initial hose crew
also encountered several venting LP cylinders of various sizes around
the outside of the dwelling. The gas cylinders were controlled
accordingly as extinguishment efforts began. Crews from Moosup and
Atwood Hose began to arrive and assist with extinguishment and opening
up. All visible fire was knocked down within 10 minutes and units
worked through the extensive overhaul process which revealed an
exceptionally heavy fire load. All mutual aid companies were
released by 00:30, and Central Village returned to service by 01:00.
The Fire Marshal remained on scene to investigate with the State Fire
Marshal's office and the Plainfield Police.

CENTRAL FAST PUT TO WORK AT CANTERBURY
HOUSE FIRE
Monday, March 10, 2008
- Shortly before 10:00 this morning QV dispatch started taking calls
for a well-involved structure fire on Brooklyn Road in Canterbury.
Moments later the first alarm assignment was dispatched for the
Canterbury Fire Department with mutual aid from Scotland, Hampton,
and a FAST response from Central Village. ET-197 responded on
the run with five (5) members. Arriving Canterbury units found
a vacant two (2) story wood frame dwelling with self-vented fire
from the upper floor and roof. ET-197 reached the scene
shortly after Station 93 units and E-116. The Central Village
crew was immediately assigned to fire suppression duties by the
Canterbury command staff. The crew from E-193 advanced a
handline to the second floor initiating an aggressive interior
attack while Central Village members put an additional handline into
operation on the first floor. The crew from ET-197
extinguished moderate fire conditions on the first floor, and also
protected the stairway for units operating on the second floor.
After a partial roof collapse all units were ordered out of the
building in favor of a defensive operation. In the absence of
an aerial device, crews operated hoselines and opened up off of ground ladders
until Canterbury Command (Chief Kasacek
C-93) special called Mortlake's L-190. Once on scene, the
elevated master-stream from L-190 extinguished a majority of the
fire. After ensuring structural integrity, crews were once
again allowed to re-enter the dwelling for overhaul. The
Central Village assignment operated for just over three (3) hours
before returning to service.

and placed their front bumper line into operation between the
involved garage and residential exposure preventing further property
damage. ET-197 pulled up moments later with five (5) members,
and was requested to deploy their front bumper line to assist with
extinguishment efforts. Moosup and Central Village crews had
the main body of fire knocked down within 10 minutes and began
