Around 09:10, New London, fire responded to Mott St for a dwelling fire, They arrived to find 2 Dwellings well involved with a 3rd lighting off. Command requested a, 2nd and shortly later a 3rd alarm. With fire conditions, and wind coming off the sound, crews worked to contain the fire to the original 3 dwellings, a portable monitor was placed into service on the main building and exposure D, along with several hand-lines from all sides, as the tower ladder was placed into operation. Command directed companies to work the different exposures to bring the fire under control. The primary fire building, collapsed about and hr and half into the fire. Crews overhauled the exposures, due to being on the mouth of the Thames river, crews dealt with Hurricane windows as the vented the dwellings, this hindered some operation in the first mins as they were discovered. After about 2 hrs the fire was under control. Minor damage to a few other exposure buildings was noticed. In all about 6 engine and 5 ladders with support vehicles responded.
