Bridgeport, CT 21 Wood Terr dwelling fire

07/14/99 Bridgeport, CT David 2 Assignment - This fire occurred directly behind my childhood residence. A one and a half wood frame had heavy smoke and fire issuing from the number four side. Firefighters arrived and stretched to the interior and knocked the heavy fire down quickly. However, the fire had extended into the attic. Truck companies tried to vent the roof but had a hard time due to slate over cedar shingles. Heavy fire eventually vented the roof prompting companies to hit the fire from the exterior to gain control over the fire.
