Firefighters from Norwich were summoned for a structure fire this morning around 01:30 at the Peachtree Apartments located on West Ledge Drive. First in Norwich companies had there hands full, heavy fire was showing from multiple apartments and there were reports of people still in the building. A Second and third alarm was requested adding all five Norwich volunteer departments and finally ending at a sixth alarm with other companies in staging and covering stations. Numerous other support vehicles also responded to the scene to assist. As the sun came up firefighters were still trying to gain the upper hand. Approximately 100 apartments were destroyed by the fire with the remainder having smoke and water damage. As of 11:30 departments were still on scene and will probably remain for some time. I was able to get some pictures and some were sent to me, check out other Blog sites for more photos.
