Twelve mutual aid departments, 150+ firefighters, 5 regional foam trailers, 2 air cascades, and 13 hours to bring this 5 alarm blaze in the south end of the City of Torrington under control. The large warehouse involved was the storage stock storage facility for Tocci Tires (a large retail and wholesale tire distributor) and O&G Industries a region wide construction contractor. As the tire fueled fire raged through the building it threatened the adjacent residential neighborhoods with it's toxic smoke and huge fire balls. The cause of the fire is under investigation but appeared to have started in the tire company's warehouse. The building was a total loss and heavy equipment was brought in to clean up the rubble left from the collapsed building.
