|
At 8:46 PM on November, 2nd 2019, members of Local 830 were dispatched to 9 Ravenwood Drive for reports of a house on fire. Upon arrival, Car 2 reported a heavily involved residential structure. Due to the are being the small section of Norwalk without hydrants, Command requested a tanker from New Cannan to respond. Crews initially made an interior attack on the fire, but the blaze had gotten too much of a head start and structural integrity started to become a concern, as well as getting a positive water source, so Car 2 made the decision to evacuate the residence and make a defensive attack. Members of Local 830 did a great job making sure that the fire remained in the area it initially started in and not extending to the rest of the house. Responding to the call was Engine 2, Engine 1, Engine, 5, Engine 3, Truck 2, Truck 1, Rescue 2, Car 2, Car 1 (Chief of Department), FM1, and New Canaan Tanker.
