18:30 Willimantic (Ct) fire was dispatched to St. Marys Church for smoke

coming from the building. First due found heavy smoke coming from the

building, In a short time a 3rd alarm was requested. Crews made entry

with a 2.5 line to attack the fire, as 4 towers and a ladder set up. After a

while the conditions deteriorated and command evacuated the building and

went defensive with master streams. The fire ran the roof line for

several hrs, the master streams held it in check. After several hrs,

crews were allowed to re-enter the building and to work the hot spot.
