#e551 #t559 #t557 are just clearing up from a working fire in town. We were assigned to #rit . Once on scene the crew from #551 completed a 360 of the structure and found that ground level exits did not have a means to the ground without significant drop. Fortunately the first units in made an aggressive push and knocked down the first fast. RIT was not needed and we were cleared by command. As always, big thank you to @stepneyfire_ct for coverage. All newtown companies were on scene. @dodgingtown_fire @hawleyvillefire @newtownhookandladder @sandyhookvolfirerescuect @newtownems @ntpdcommunity . Fire marshal office investigating. No injuries. #workingfire #structurefire #botsfordfirerescue ...

Today at 12:40p all companies were alerted to reports of an explosion and structure fire in our first due. An approximate area was given but no address. As units approached the area, a neighbor was able to pinpoint the location which was up a shared driveway well in and up steep non paved terrain in a non hydrant area. On arrival the structure was already completely destroyed. #e551 #e552 #t559 #t557 and #car5 took in the assignment. 2 lines were stretched from engine 551 and placed into operation. There was spread of the fire to vegetation in the immediate area which was also extinguished. Tankers were filled by @sandyhookvolfirerescuect engine 441 and had to rotate one at a time to get up the driveway. Approximately 12,000 gallons was shuttled and used. A town backhoe had to be brought in to open up structural remains to soak down all hot spots. Command and incident terminated roughly 2 hours after dispatch. #workingfire #botsfordfirerescue #newtownct
