First of all I have not received any photos at this time, But due to the events, I will post the news links. If I receive any I will post them.
Last night around 01:20 Niantic responded to 53 Crescent Ave., where first due companies found heavy fire coming from the first-floor exterior. This was a occupied apartment building. Crews from Niantic and Flanders worked the fire until after 4am the fire consumed the roof and heavily damaged the rest of the building.
About one hour later Waterford was dispatched to 1 First St near the draw bridge for several calls for a building fire (a Vacant) this was about 2 miles away. W-11 was released from their cover assignment in Niantic and headed across the bridge and noticed heavy fire from the building. The building was heavily damaged.
Both buildings are owned by the same person. At this time the fire is under investigation.
These two fires and others in the state this week should be a wake up call to us for this winter. About 5-8 of them are under Foreclosure or have financial problems. Could this be the start of a long winter? It could be. So beware of your surrounding and size up the buildings in your area and stay safe.
See links below, Unknown how long they will be active.
