20:07 Norwich fire was dispatched to the area of Oak st. and Clairemont for a possible structure fire. On arrival they found heavy fire showing from the 2nd floor of 6 Clairemont Court. Due to the size, type and elevation of the street, only one pumper made it down to the house. Before arrival the neighbor notified 8 occupants of the fire on the 2nd floor, they were able to wake one child in the room next to the fire and evacuate the home unharmed. As the fire made its way into the attic area, crews made a quick knockdown of the main fire room as the OVM opened up the front of the 2nd floor. As fire vented out a opening in the roof, crews made entry into the attic area and the truck started to open the roof. In a short time they controlled the fire in the attic and went into the overhaul phase of the fire. A special call for Eng-32 then R-3 out of Yantic for man-power was requested. Fire was under control in about 1.5 hours.
