MIDDLETOWN, Conn. — Monday night, the Westfield fire department was alerted of a fire on Old Road drive in Middletown.
The home was located 2000 ft. off the roadway where no fire hydrants were nearby.
Westfield Tanker 4 and Middlefield Tanker 5 arrived quickly and immediately supplied water to Westfield's Engine 2. Middlefield Engine 3 laid out about 1,800’ of 5” hose and relay pumped in order to get water the extended distance from the street to the fire scene.
