Norwich Firefighters Battle Tough Duplex Blaze

0:00Firefighters in Norwich battled a tough blaze at a duplex on North Third Avenue in the Taffil neighborhood last Thursday evening. The two-and-a-half-story home went up in flames, starting on the first floor and climbing all the way up the rear, with crews rushing in just after, 8.30pm. Multiple departments jumped in to help, including Norwich firefighters, Taffil, East Great Plain Rescue, and the Mohegan Tribal Rapid Intervention. They stressed out several hostlines to knock it back, while others swept the upper floors for any hidden fire spread. A handful of firefighters ended up getting checked out by ambulance crews for exhaustion after pushing hard. Relief amid the chaos. Once they had the flames under control, the teams did a full overhaul to ensure nothing reignited. The Norwich Fire Marshall's office has taken over to figure out exactly what sparked the whole thing. We'll watch for updates as they dig deeper, but for now, it's a solid reminder of the grind these crews face every shift.
