Haddam Volunteer Fire Company responded to a vehicle fire at 5 p.m. tonight (March 29) on Killingworth Road near the Mobil Higganum Service Station. A driver heading northbound noticed smoke billowing from his vehicle and pulled off the road. He self-extricated with no injuries. Firefighters closed both lanes of traffic while they worked to extinguish the fire with a line of Engine 3-13. Crews also removed sections of the dash to access “hot spots” and smoldering areas. The northbound lane of Killingworth Road was later opened as crews worked to clean debris from the scene.
Killingworth Firefighter Jeremy Adametz assisted with extinguishing the fire.
