Multiple alarm Thompson, CT 549 Riverside Dr May 8, 2013
#1
Thompson, CT ~ Fire crews from 13 departments responded to the K&R Auto Repair Shop at 549 Riverside Dr around 1900hrs on May 8, 2013 for a reported fire. Companies arrived to find heavy fire conditions in a 1sty irregular shaped wood and concrete block building. The building was loaded with numerous types of fuel, lubricants, and vehicles. 
 
Flames were shooting 30’ into the air shortly after the arrival of fire apparatus. A defensive operation was placed into service along with a tanker shuttle. Dump ponds were placed in front of the property for water supply operations.  A tower ladder, ladder pipe, deck guns, and hand lines flowed heavy streams for about 1 hour to knock the fire down. 
 
Firefighters were allowed to re-enter the complex to overhaul and extinguish hot spots. They carefully made through the fire torn building wetting down the hidden pockets of flames. Two other buildings sustained water, heat, and smoke damage. The neighborhood had a smoky odor of burnt rubber and wood well after the fire was knocked down.
 
Connecticut departments that responded to the scene included Community, East Thompson, West Thompson, Thompson Hill, Quinebaug, Muddy Brook, Woodstock, Attawaugan, East Putnam and Bungay, the West Glocester, RI, and Webster & Dudley, MA
