615 Asylum Street (John-1)
So how often do Communications send an engine AND a ladder on a commercial AFA? On this particular evening around six o'clock FCC did just that. And it paid off as Engine 10 was asking for the box several blocks out with fire in the sky. Four interconnected office trailers were in various states of combustion and collapse but presented no exposure problems. This property was formerly used as a munitions testing grounds under the ownership of the Remington Arms Corporation. Fortunately, no explosives were involved.

Fire wrecks engineering gear

A fire of undetermined origin heavily damaged trailers containing engineering equipment at the Remington Woods property on Asylum Street late Friday afternoon.
A security guard called 911 after seeing the flames, said Assistant Fire Chief Ted Derlega.
The trailers had been closed up for more than a month because of the cold weather.
The trailers are located in a fenced-off lot at the cul-de-sac of Asylum Street.
DuPont Corp. owns the property and is cleaning it up so it can be developed into office space.
