On Friday evening February 4th, members of the Webster FD responded to a fire in an occupied two story woodframe dwelling located at 9 Prospect Street. Firefighters arrived to find heavy fire showing from the rear of the dwelling on two floors. Operations were hampered by the snowbanks that limited the street to barely one lane and huge accumulations of snow piled around the involved building as well as the exposures. Hydrants were shoveled out, but were very difficult to locate. The Dudley and Oxford fire departments were called to the scene to assist Webster jakes, and a crew from Douglas provided a rapid intervention team on the fireground. The East Thompson FD (CT) provided station coverage for Webster. |
