04/27/2010 Norwich (Greenville)

Shortly after 03:00, the City of Norwich Fire Department was requested to the Capehart Mill on North Main St., in the city's Greenville section, for a structure fire. Being housed across the street, Engine 2 arrived with heavy fire in one section of the building. A second alarm was transmitted adding Mohegan Tribe FAST, East Great Plain Engine and Ladder and Laurel Hill Hose Tender. Command requested a 5th alarm into staging with activation of the Ladder Strike Team. Aerial devises from Norwich, Taftville, East Great Plain, Jewett City and Montville were in operation with others standing by.

Companies from New London to Colchester were requested to cover empty stations throughout the area. Firefighters are still on scene extinguishing the blaze.
