On Sept. 17, 2020 Haddam Volunteer Fire Company was dispatched to a reported vehicle fire on Saybrook Road near Higganum Village Market.
The vehicle’s operator noticed a fire in the back of his pick-up truck, pulled over, and used a fire extinguisher from the market to put the fire out.
Although there was no visible fire at the time firefighters arrived, crews sifted through the contents in the back of the truck, removed a battery, and extinguished smoldering plastic debris.
Firefighters rerouted traffic through the market’s parking lot during the incident.
