This morning at 8:42 Stamford Fire & Rescue (SFRD) units and the Turn of River Fire Department (TORFD) were dispatched to a report of an activated fire alarm in the TORFD Fire District.  The area where the incident took place is known to the SFRD as a water supply problem area.  This means, that in the event of a real fire, it will take time and person-power to establish a water supply to supplement the tank water on the first due apparatus.
