1:34pm–#Stratford CT– It was a busy afternoon for first responders in Stratford.  First an oil truck rolled over at Broadbridge Avenue and Second Hill Lane causing a hazmat situation.  Mutual aid from area towns were called to back fill the emptied fire station attending to the hazamat.

A short time later firefighters were called to Minor Avenue for a garage fire, the garage is attached to the home.  The fire was minor and the homeowner had the fire pretty much out when  firefighters arrived.  Firefighters checked for extensions.  The radio was busy with procedure protocol if this was a larger fire that would have required more assistance from surrounding towns.  Fortunately it was not needed.
