Canton Volunteer Firefighters go Door-to-Door Promoting Be Safe....Replace

Canton, CT March 11, 2012… For Canton’s volunteer firefighters and EMTs, Daylight Saving Time means more than remembering to turn their clocks backward or forward. Since 2006, the Town of Canton Volunteer Fire & EMS Department has driven fire apparatus throughout town and dropped in on residents to promote life safety through the use of fire and carbon monoxide alarms.

Canton volunteer firefighters were dispatched to a fire at a two-family residence in Collinsville. The back and second floor deck of the structure, built in the late 19th century, was fully involved when fire crews arrived within minutes of the dispatch. The fire extended up through the walls to the attic and out the back of the structure.

Given that the fire was during daytime hours, when many volunteer firefighters are out of town at work, Regional Task Force 54 was activated to provide back up water sources and about 30 additional personnel from Avon, Simsbury, East Farmington, Tunxis Hose and Lost Acres.
