Good morning,
With the impending storm, we have just a few items to keep in mind. Fire hydrants, if you could help out and clear 3 feet around the fire hydrants near your house. Next, keep the exhausts to your furnace, dryers and generators clear. And please stay off the roads. We have extra firefighters on duty for the storm starting this evening, and are prepared to respond in an emergency.

Last night at 17:32, the Waterford Fire Department responded to a residential structure fire on Colonial Drive. Truck 15 was the first unit to arrive on scene arriving within just a couple of minutes. Truck 15 encountered heavy smoke coming from the building and fire in the basement back right corner. Our members on Truck 15 stretched a hose line and made a quick and aggressive attack on the fire. All the occupants of the home were out and accounted for on our arrival. Unfortunately, one of the residents were transported to the hospital for smoke inhalation, and one cat did perish in the fire. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Waterford Fire Marshals office. Thank you to our mutual aid partners for their assistance, New London Firefighters, IAFF Local 1522, Poquonnock Bridge Professional Firefighters Local 2704
