VIDEO REPORT–#Fairfield CT–Assistant Fire Chief Chris Tracy of the Fairfield Fire Department took time out his busy schedule to tell us how a drone assisted them in fighting the lumberyard fire Wednesday. Bridgeport Firefighter Keith Muratori (Rescue 5) has assisted firefighters in Bridgeport and neighboring towns with his drone to give firefighters a real time assessment of a fire’s progress from above.
