Description: Initial calls for smoke coming from a house, multiple calls received while units were en route. E3 arrived on scene and confirmed heavy smoke condition and declared a working fire. U4 special called E9 above the 1st alarm for water supply. C1 arrived on scene and reported fire was in a welding shop with multiple acetylene cylinders involved in the fire. Stamford police blocking streets in area. State Police notified due to proximity to I95.

 

A short time later an automatic alarm in a high rise hotel a few blocks away took more units. A second call giving a different address for the hotel briefly became a third incident and reported smoke on a higher floor. Even when these were confirmed as the same location units were still tied up investigating the odor of smoke which was determined to be from the original fire.
