By Olivia Drake, HVFCo Public Information Officer.

On June 21, 2019, Haddam Volunteer Fire Company was dispatched to Hungerford Road in East Haddam as part of a mutual aid Tanker Task Force. A propane truck had collided with a car, causing the truck to overturn and leak fuel. Both vehicle operators were taken to the hospital. Only one home in the area was evacuated. Members used Tanker 2-13 to block and reroute traffic during the six-hour incident.
