Date: 12/11/13
Time: Approximately 0920

Incident Type: Structure Fire
Location: 20 East Lane (Knollcrest) New Fairfield, CT
Units: New Fairfield FD (All three companies), Sherman FD, Putnam Lake FD

Description:

Working fire in a private dwelling, Knollcrest private community on the North end of town. This community is a peninsula on Candlewood Lake, right down the street from quarters of Squantz Engine Company. Very tight streets, only one way in/out, not easy to get tankers in and out of without a lot of backing.

Not positive, but typically by this time of year the water level in Candlewood Lake has been drawn down which limits the options in terms of fill sites, hence all the extra tankers. I was never that familiar with the fill sites on the North end of town, even when I was running with NF, but it could be a bit of a haul from the fill site to the job.

Sherman M/A for an Engine and a Tanker

Putnam Lake M/A for a Tanker
