Crews Brave Elements to Fight Small Fire in Hartford

Cold temperatures posed a challenge for Hartford firefighters as they worked to put out a small fire early Monday morning.

Crews responded to 300 Maxim Road near Lindbergh Drive just after 4:30 a.m.
 
Hartford fire's deputy chief said the fire was in an area where trash is ground up.
 
Firefighters were able to get it under control within 10 minutes but said due to the extreme cold, their water supply froze up.
 
There was a bus on site and the fire trucks were kept running so that firefighters could take breaks to keep warm.
 
No injuries were reported.
 
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
