Yantic W/F PD, 05-14-07

I have decided to make a short video should be up by Saturday
having some problems with it I'm hoping for sunday??

Around 5:pm Yantic fire was dispatched for house fire w/occupants still inside of the building at 2 Deepwood Dr (a non-hydrant area). While enroute heavy smoke could be visible for miles, (depending on your location). Tankers and additional companies were started. First in officers reported heavy smoke showing. ( All occupants were accounted for). The fire already consumed the sun porch and was spreading too the upper floors, Crews made a short attempted to a interior attack but were pushed out due to conditions. The fire spread rapidly to the front of the house due to winds, crew set-up for a defencive operations, as a water supply was being established. A tanker shuttle was used, from hydrants over 1 mile away. Before the shuttle was operational tank water was depleted. With in mins the enter house was involved. I will be adding more photos and possible some Video later.

Before arrival, photo taken about 2 mins after tone.

I would like to thank Pat, Pete, Spencer and anyone else that provided photos from this fire. I worked this fire so it was almost impossible for me to take any shots during

the height of the incident.

Keep them coming, Without you guys we would miss more of the action.
