The Quiambaug Fire Company was dispatched to a fire in the Stonington Borough on the afternoon of July 3, 2003.
If the wind direction and the weather were different at the time, the whole lower part of Stonington Borough could have and probably would have been lost.
Not a single firefighter was injured at this tragic fire thanks to all the professional volunteers in the area and the kind, concerned citizens in these small towns such as Stonington Borough.
