3 Alarm Fire 222 N. Elm St. Torrington, CT 3/20/13 - hoss - 03-20-2013

Came across the radio like hell's bells, with dispatch reporting TEN  911 calls reporting flames coming out of the occupied two story brick apartment building on N. Elm St. During my 40 minute travel time the guys from T-Town got a handle on it pretty quick and the majority of the third alarm units (mutual aid) were returned to station.
