At 11:48 Saturday night The Westerly Dispatch Center dispatched The Carolina Fire Department on a full response, and the Hope Valley Fire Department for 1 engine and 1 tanker for a possible house fire at 43 Sannock Hill Rd. Engine 912 with a full crew and Tanker 915 were quickly on the air and out the doors. Car 601 (District Chief Barber) arrived on scene and confirmed a working fire, with heavy fire showing on the 1st and 2nd stories. Engine 611 and Tanker 615 were first due, quickly followed by Engine 912 and Tanker 915. Crews stretched the first 1-3/4 attack line through the front door and up the stair case, while a second attack line was stretched to the first floor and eventually up to the second floor. After the bulk of the fire was knocked down, firefighters checking the basement located more fire and requested a third line the rear of the building. Crews from Carolina, Hope Valley, Charlestown, Ashaway, Exeter and Dunns Corners remained on scene until 3:00 AM chasing hot spots and overhauling.
