The Fire Dept thanked their mutual aid partners that assisted as well as Greenwich Police and Greenwich EMS.
Because the incident occurred in a non-hydranted area of town, a tanker shuttle operation was required to supply water to the scene. All responding companies worked together to quickly establish a water supply and bring the fire under control.
All occupants were safely accounted for, no injuries were reported. The Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire.
