PLAINFIELD — A Plainfield firefighter is facing charges in connection to an alleged sexual assault of a junior member of the Plainfield Fire Department.

On August 8, the victim told police the alleged assault happened inside the Plainfield fire station.
On August 10, police executed a search and seizure warrant at the Plainfield Fire Department on Norwich Road. During that time, nearby fire departments were put on notice with the help of Quinebaug Valley Emergency Communications to provide coverage to the town.
