Around 13:30 Willimantic fire was dispatched for a building fire at 138 Chapman St. (Note they were operating at a EMS and now are running short) As they arrived the found a 2.5 story wf apartment building with a fire on the first floor spreading rapidly. In a very short time command requested a 2nd alarm. The crew made a aggressive attack on all floors as the the fire made its way to the top floor via the void spaces. On the third floor they attempted to make a push but due the the heavy fire conditions along with changing winds. Command with drew the firefighters as the roof sagged and the burned trough. As the towers were placed into operation over the power lines as heavy fire vented from the rear of the roof. After a short time, of master stream operations the heavy fire was knocked down.
