• Yesterday, at approximately 1:17 PM, firefighters were dispatched to the 400 block of Abbe Road Extension for a reported shed on fire. On arrival, the fire department confirmed an approximately 20’x30’ shed was well involved in fire.
Engine 6, Engine 3, and Engine 4 responded, and quickly extinguished the fire. There was no extension to any other structures, and spread was limited to a small area of brush. There were no injuries, and the South Windsor Fire Marshal's Office is investigating the cause of the fire.
• Later in the day, at approximately 5:50 PM, the SWFD was dispatched to a possible structure fire on Watson Farm Drive. The first South Windsor Police Officer on scene made entry into the building and using a dry chemical extinguisher, extinguished an active stovetop fire. The fire department arrived on scene shortly after, isolated the stove, checked for extension, performed a brief overhaul, and ventilated the residence.
The resident was not home during the fire, and there were no injuries.
