July 2, 2007: New London Fire Department responded to 170 Broad Street for a reported structure fire. Enroute Station A reported a fire in the roof area at that location and that the employees made an attempt to extinguish. Upon arrival a working fire was transmitted moving A-31 up as the FAST team. Members opened up and exposed hidden fire in between the ceiling and roof and made quick work once access was gained. One firefighter was transported with minor injuries. Their extent were unkown but appeared to be minor at the scene. All companies operated at this job including the Lawerence and Memorial Paramedics.
