Structure Fire with Fully Involved Truck and Boat

This past Saturday afternoon at about 5:35 Westfield Fire was called out to a fully involved car fire with exposures at 836 Ridgewood Road. On arrival, Lieutenant Giantonio (10-5-6) confirmed the car fire as well as extension to the nearby house. Chief Lockwood (10-5), who arrived on-scene seconds later requested a full structure response. Westfield 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 responded along with Middletown and South District providing mutual aid to the scene. Cromwell and Middlefield Fire responded to Westfield's station for district coverage. Two 1-3/4 hand lines were used to extinguish the fire. Crews lead by Captain Dan Barone and Lieutenant Bill Gregorio went to the roof above the garage to cut a 4x4 vent hole. Deputy Chief Steve Hughes assumed command midway through the call and led remaining overhaul operations.
