First Responders Knock Down Brush Fire on Shenipsit Lake Road

Tolland Fire Chief and Public Safety Director John Littell said that fire ignited around 5 to 6 acres.

Tolland firefighters responded to a 5 to 6-acre fire on Shenipsit Lake Road on Tuesday, knocking it almost completely down by the early evening, according to Fire Chief and Public Safety Director John Littell.

Littell said that the fire was located close to 428 Shenipsit Lake Road, and that the department called in man power and resource help from North Coventry, Crystal Lake and CT DEEP since local responders were returning from another fire in Willington.

The fire was close to a barn, but was knocked down before damaging the building, Littell said.
