Milford fatal 2nd alarm 51 Roses Mill Rd.

09/14/20 Milford, CT - Companies arrived to find a fire on the lower level of a vacant strip mall. Firefighters were not allowed to go interior due to the condition of the long abandoned, commercial building. They tried to hit the fire with two and half hand lines, but were unsuccessful in stopping the spread of the fire. The fire entered the void spaces and traveled into the cockloft. One tower, two aerial master streams, several multi-versals and hand lines were operated for over two hours to darken down this stubborn fire. The cause of the fire is being investigated. One body was found in the rubble during overhaul.
