Vehicle Fire w/ Exposure to a Home
At approximately 6:51 PM, the South Windsor Fire Department was dispatched to a reported vehicle fire in the driveway of a home in the 800 block of Graham Road. While responding, dispatch updated with further information that the address may be incorrect; the fire may actually be just over the line into East Windsor.  They also confirmed that the Broad Brook Fire Department was also responding.
Car 19 arrived first on scene and confirmed a fully involved pickup truck in the driveway, in close proximity to the house. The address was also confirmed to be in East Windsor by about two properties. Due to South Windsor apparatus already responding and nearing the scene, the assignment was continued, and Broad Brook Fire was notified. Car 11 arrived shortly after, and Engine 3 arrived as the first due engine and quickly began suppression, protecting the structure. Engine 6 and Rescue 5 arrived shortly after, joined by BBFD Car 439 and ET 139.
The fire was quickly extinguished, and there was no extension to the home. There were no injuries. The scene was turned over to the Broad Brook Fire Department.
