Members of Platoon 3 responded to 63 Washington St. around 1430 on August 13 for a report of a structure fire. Battalion 1 arrived, and Battalion Chief Despathy confirmed a working fire on the 1st floor of a 3 story ordinary construction apartment building. Squad A was first due as Engine 3 was out of quarters at the time of call. The Squad had their own hydrant, freeing up the additional engines to perform other fireground functions. Engine 2 completed primary serches of the building, while Truck 1 set up to reach the roof and check the building for extension. There were no injuries reported and the fire was under control within 30 minutes. Mohegan Tribal FD also responded as the FAST.
