August 9, 2006: Members of the Old Mystic, Mystic and Wequetequock fire departments participated in live burn evolutions at the former Ashbys restraunt located on Rt. 27 in Old Mystic. After several interior training evolutions the building was let to burn through and eventually to the ground. Many spectators were on hand to watch these evolutions, maybe getting a better idea as to what the fire service is all about.
