Thank you "johnd248".

A massive response.
I know from Norwich Battalion 1, Squad A, and Truck 1 responded about 9:00 pm. About an hour later Battalion 1 requested reserve Engine 4 for additional manpower.
Also Yantic Engine 33 and Taftville Tower 25 responded.

Old Mystic FD was requested mutual aid to Foxwoods at 8:20 pm and sent Squad 62 and Rescue 67
Ledyard FD sent unit R-13
Westerly, RI FD sent Engine 1 with Car 31 at 9:56 pm

But as "johnd248" aka "Johnny D" posted there were numerous other fire departments that responded.
One of the largest responses that I can ever remember in Southeastern, Ct
