Video: Hamden (CT) Three-Alarm Fire

Fire photographer Keith Muratori recently shared some video of firefighters responding to a third-alarm fire in Hamden, Connecticut.

At approximately 7 p.m. on February 14, 2022, the Hamden (CT) Fire Department was dispatched to 42 Warner Street for a structure fire with multiple calls. A second alarm was called while companies were on route. First-arriving units on the scene found heavy fire through the roof and out several windows of the Warner Village Apartments. In all, a third alarm would be struck as fire took hold of the whole 22 unit apartment complex in the frigid 18° weather. Fifty people would be displaced with no injuries reported at this time. Mutual aid came from New Haven, North Haven, and Wallingford, to name a few.
