A LARGE FIRE IN A FURNITURE WAREHOUSE STARTED at 9 am this morning in East Hartford, Connecticut, and escalated to five alarms as the fire traveled unhindered through the huge building that was filled with office furniture.

The first alarm units were able to get inside long enough to conduct a primary search and make sure that all the occupants made it out safely.  It is believed that all the workers did get out ok.  The FD then withdrew and set up master streams to try and contain the fire which is still burning as this story is being posted.  There is no indication yet on how the fire started.

NECN has an early video report:
