Taunton Fire Department received mutual aid from as many
as 18 fire departments in two counties
as they battled this general alarm fire at the Taunton State Hospital complex
off Hodges Avenue
on Sunday March 19, 2006 at about 2000 hours. The fire involved a large 3
story brick section
of the complex with severe exposures and serious water shortage problems. Many
master streams
and elevated streams operated for several hours to bring the fire under control.
Water was drafted
from a nearby river in addition to the use of many hydrants throughout this
section of the city.
Engines drafting from the river.
