Firefighters Battle East Windsor Blaze

Four fire companies fought the flames in a multi-family home in Warehouse Point.

Firefighters from four area fire departments battled frigid temperatures in working to put out a fire Thursday night in the Warehouse Point section of East Windsor.

The fire was in a multi-family home at 67 North Main St., just north of the Maine Fish Market and Restaurant and just south of the Enfield town line.

Fire personnel from Warehouse Point, Broad Brook, Enfield and Windsor Locks worked to put out the blaze, which was reported shortly before 9 p.m. The fire was knocked down by 10 p.m.

From the ground, the second floor of the building appeared to have sustained the most damage.

Property records show the 2,400+ square foot structure was built in 1850.

Police blocked off the intersection of Bridge Street and North Main Street, re-routing traffic through the Bank of America parking lot across from the Geissler's Plaza.

Warehouse Point Fire Chief James Barton was working at the scene and not immediately available for comment.

Politicians are not CEOs. Elected officials are not CEOs. The comparison is not appropriate, butRead More it does fit with Mr. Morici's misplaced CEO worship. The criticisms may be valid, but they must be examined as political or legal criticisms. The government as a business comparison only increases the power of the corporate state. I also note that Mr. Morici's credo which he attributes to President Obama, "We’ll do as we please, stop us if you can" is a very accurate portrayal of predatory capitalism.

Maria, your dismissive and divisive 'analysis' ignores the fact that POTUS is anRead More "executive" position, also "Commander-in-Chief" of the military! O had exactly ZERO "executive" experience, which--along with his anti-business and anti-America views--explains his failures. Mr. Morici's assessment of O's job performance is perfectly pragmatic and relevant, while your doting worship of the "Agitator-in-Chief" is rather pathetic, as well as being irrelevant.

The author of the article quoted endlessly above is Peter Morici, a Professor of InternationalRead More Business at the University of Maryland. I suppose he is to be forgiven if he sees everything through a business lens, after all it has given him a very comfortable livelihood for decades. But it is still a faulty lens on this topic and he should know better.
