Willington crews faced open flames and propane tanks Wednesday night.

Firefighters were dispatched at about 9:55 p.m. Oct. 28 to the 700 block of River Road for a reported structure fire. When they arrived, they found heavy fire conditions and several propane tanks exposed to the blaze. Crews used a transitional attack to contain the fire and stop it from spreading. Officials said the fire was under control at 10:32 p.m., 37 minutes after the dispatch. Firefighters stayed on the scene until about 1:30 a.m. Thursday for overhaul and wet-down operations. The Somers Fire Department chief responded and assisted with fireground operations, and mutual aid departments also reported to the scene. Willington fire officials said their support and coordination helped bring the incident under control. The Connecticut State Fire Marshal's Office, working with the Willington fire marshal, is investigating the cause.
