Busy Evening for 44House last evening...May 27, 2026.

Tank 144 was special called along with several other Tankers to I84 in Willington to a military vehicle rollover with fire at the Ruby Road exit., shortly after the Tanker returnrd to quarters, a passer by alerted us that there was a significant auto accident just east of quarters on West Stafford Road.

Minutes after C44 arrived at the MVA and had determined there were no injuries, TN Dispatch notified C44 (Chief Lorenzetti) that they were processing a structure fire incident at 105 Diamond Ledge Road.... C44 immediately turned the MVA over to Fire Police and CSP and responded to the structure fire.

While enroute and seeing a large column of smoke, C44 ordered a 2nd Alarm plus three additional tankers. C44 arrived on scene within 5 minutes of dispatch and found a large garage/workshop fully involved with multiple explosions.

First in Engine laid 5" hose down the driveway and began suppression and exposure protection, The next arriving engine was ordered to lay in with a second 5" supply line, and arriving tankers set up drop tanks at the street with companies supplying water to ET244 and ET245....

C44 then requested that 3rd Alarm companies be dispatched to "Cover up" empty fire stations.
