On 3/20/14 about 1240 hours South Coventry FD (CT) members arrived at 88 Prospect St to heavy fire showing from the front and rear of a 2 1/2 story wood frame. The house was at the dead end of the street which made apparatus access limited. Mutual aid from North Coventry, Uconn, Mansfield, Tolland, Columbia, Andover, Bolton, and many others assisted at the scene or covered stations in Tolland County.

Stay safe,
