New London — The city fire marshal has been asked to investigate a minor fire Saturday night in a vacant brick building at the corner of Connecticut Avenue and Grand Street that was quickly contained by the city firefighters.
Battalion Chief Keith Nichols said Sunday that firefighters encountered a lot of smoke when they had to force entry into the building, but only one hose was required to put out the fire, which occurred before 11 p.m. Nichols described the building as former site of the New London Ice Company but didn't have the exact address.
