Seymour 3rd alarm taxpayer fire 4 Bank St

04/20/22 Firefighters responded to number 4 Bank St. for a reported fire in the building. The town fire marshal radioed in saying he could see it. Engine 13 arrived first due to heavy smoke showing from a store in a one story taxpayer. An interior attack was made, but companies had to back out due to heavy fire that had extended into the cockloft. A second and third alarm were transmitted bringing departments from throughout the valley to fight the fire. Heavy fire soon overtook the entire taxpayer. Four aerials and multiple hand lines were used to bring the fire under control in about two hours. The cause is being investigated by the Seymour FMO and the State of Connecticut Fire Marshal's office.
