A Norwich firefighter was successfully rescued after calling a Mayday at a house fire Wednesday night.
The firefighter, who declared the emergency after becoming disoriented, made it to a window to alert others, WFSB reported, adding that crews from all departments helped in the rescue.
He was evaluated on the scene and returned to duty.
Fire crews said they initially experienced a pump failure that contributed to a delay entering the building to fight the flames.
Crews began a defensive attack on the fire and the situation was placed under control at 10:19 p.m.
The cause is under investigation.
