Chester, CT middlesex cnty.
Dept 7 was alerted to a house fire on 85 wig hill rd, automatic mutual aid for full responses from Haddam (13) Deep River (5) and Killingworth (8).
The residence was a large home in the shape of an octagon, the roof was 20 ft high and made overhaul difficult. Fire was mostly confined to the roof and attic area.
In someones infinte wisdom a ladder was never started to the scene until late, and a RIT Team was never brought to the scene (would have been Old Saybrook engine 351). Instead the engine that would have supplied RIT was sent to cover Deep River's HQ. Westbrook also provided coverage to Deep Rivers second station in winthrop.
Ill post a pic or two.
