At approximately 6:30am on April 22, 2008 the CVFD was called to a report of a shed fire at 136 Veterans Drive. When firefighter's arrived on the scene the shed was totally engulfed in flames. Approximately 40 feet away, the main residence was showing signs of extreme heat. defensive measures were quickly initiated by the on scene commander utilizing two pumper trucks with a total of 2000 gallons of water and a Wajax pump operating out of a nearby brook. Attack lines were then laid and knockdown of fire commenced. Water was applied to the home to prevent any further heat damage from occurring. About two and a half hours later the blaze had been extinguished and all the hot spots were taken care of. The shed and all its contents were a total loss along with heat damage to the vinyl siding along the entire back of the residence. Although the loss of the shed was significant, the quick actions of the fire department prevented what may have been an even greater loss - the home.
