HVFC Responds to Numerous Calls Over Three Days

By Olivia Drake, HVFC Public Information Officer
(March 15, 2024) — Haddam Volunteer Fire Company responded to two motor vehicle accidents, a brush fire, and three utility wires down this past week.
                                                                                                                                                                                                               On March 11, 2024 crews responded to three calls for utility wires down and/or electrical fires. At 12:40 p.m., HVFC was dispatched to Morris Hubbard Road for an electrical fire on a utility pole; at 2:03 p.m., HVFC responded to a call for wires down on Wiese Albert Road, and five minutes later, at 2:08 p.m., crews were dispatched to a residence on Saybrook Road where downed power lines caused a fire approximately six feet away from the house. The house was unoccupied at the time. Once Eversource secured the power, crews extinguished the fire.
                                                                                                                                                                             At 2:10 p.m. on March 12, 2024 HVFC was dispatched to a brush fire on Plains Road under the power lines. Crews accessed and extinguished the approximately two-acre fire with multiple apparatus, including Brush 12-13 and the UTV. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
                                                                                                                                                                             At 4:45 p.m. on March 13, 2024 Haddam Fire and Chester Hose Company were dispatched to Route 9 North between exits 10 and 13 for a motor vehicle accident. A driver flipped their vehicle, landing upside down in the right shoulder. The driver self-extricated and refused additional medical treatment.
Later, at 7:40 p.m., crews responded to Morris Hubbard Road for another motor vehicle accident. A driver crashed their vehicle into a utility pole, snapping the pole at its base. The driver was transported to Middlesex Hospital.
                                                                                                                                                                                     Want to get in on the action? Haddam Volunteer Fire Company is currently looking for volunteers to serve as firefighters, fire police, and EMS. All training and protective gear is provided.
