Around 3am Bozrah FD & Mutual aid from Yantic & Colchester, was dispatched to the Gilman corp. for a fire in the building involving a large amount of foam. First in officer found heavy black smoke conditions in the building. First arriving units placed a 2.5 hand-line in operation. As more units arrived a second 2.5 was placed in service. Over time A 2nd and 3rd alarms were transmitted for man-power. Crews contained the fire with multiple hand-lines and the use of the TICs to locate the seat of the fire. Crews vented the skylights to help relieve the smoke conditions. They found water was just containing the fire on the 20+ft high foam stacks. At that time the IC requested the state foam trailer. During this time the departments started with pro-packs and extinguished the main body of fire. Units remained on the scene for a few hour for overhaul and complete extinguishment.
