Location: 7 Backus Avenue (Danbury Fair Mall) Williams Sonoma store

Frequency: 46.240 (Danbury Fire) 460.550 (Danbury Police)

Units Operating: Danbury FD, Danbury PD, CT DEP HAZMAT

Description Of Incident: Suspicious substance found within a store

Writer: SageVigiles

As of 1150, the incident is still ongoing, 1 DPD officer remains O/S.

The mall has NOT be evacuated, only this store is under investigation and is closed off.

No idea what units are on scene, but I'd imagine Engine 26 (Closest Engine Co.) and Squad 2 (The HAZMAT rig) are at least there.

False alarm, turned out it was the usual "white powder" call, somebody called it in, the substance in question ended up being talcum powder.
