02/08 East Hampton Structure Fire

Colchester's FAST team responded to East Hampton for a residential house fire. First arriving units were met with heavy fire conditions in the attic & mutual aid was delayed due to adverse weather conditions (>2ft of snow.) Three Firefighters were transported (one of which was a Mayday) with non-life threatening injuries. An event that reminds us how important FAST/RIT teams really are. Nice job East Hampton on the good k/d - I hope you guys were able to make it home safely during these blizzard conditions!
