Two parts of helmet-cam video by KeithKeith33 from a house fire late Wednesday morning.
Ryan Blessing, Norwich Bulletin:
An elderly couple and their pets were forced out of their home Wednesday morning in Colchester as the result of a house fire that officials said may be tied to the use of a portable power generator.
Local fire officials responded to the structure fire at about 11 a.m. at 364 Chestnut Hill Road.
Fire departments from Bozrah, Salem and Oakdale provided mutual aid. Chestnut Hill Road was closed for more than an hour between Stanavage Road and Norwich Avenue.
The fire began in the area of a chimney on the side of the one-story house, Colchester Hayward Volunteer Fire Department Chief Walter Cox said.

Who’s on first?
10 minute video of blackness. That’s what happens when you “hit it from the outside” first. By doing that, you just disrupted any thermal layering that might have been useful in looking for the seat of the fire. Not to mention driving heat and smoke thru the rest of the structure.
Wow really? What fire ever got worse by putting water on it? Achieving a quick knock down from the outside was a great idea. It is the nature of the job to work with less than ideal vision, that’s why we have thermal imagers.
