Quick NFD response saves rental building
NORWICH – City of Norwich Firefighters quickly responded to a working structure fire Wednesday morning mere blocks from the department, saving the apartment building from becoming total loss.
According to authorities, a passerby witnessed heavy smoke coming from the building located on the corner of Steers Lane and Natoli Avenue, and alerted county dispatch at approximately 1:30 p.m.
Norwich Firefighters arrived minutes later and confirmed visible fames and heavy smoke from a rear porch and gable end of the structure.
While the fire was quickly knocked down, heavy black smoke from the fire could be seen blocks away.
Norwich Fire Marshal Jason Lawrence said that while the cause of the blaze is still under investigation, the incident was determined to be accidental in nature, and was not the result of an electrical failure.
“It was a good hit - the City Firefighters did terrific job and were able to contain the fire to just one small area of the main structure and the back porch. Their quick response time was crucial to that containment,” said Lawrence.
According to Lawrence, the rear porch on the first level was the point of origin.
The building serves as a three family rental unit, and no injuries were reported.
