It was a busy two days for Southbury Fire Department Sunday and Monday.  Sunday started with extrication training in the morning and was capped with a rescued hiker who had fallen and injured his back.

Seven calls were spread throughout the day yesterday including a brush fire and a reported water rescue.  The brush fire was reported on Roxbury Road shortly before 3:30pm.  The 40 by 40 foot fire was quickly contained and extinguished. 

Last night, Southbury Fire was called by a passerby on River Road about a capsized boat in the water.  The vessel appeared to be a canoe.  NUSAR, Newtown Underwater Search and Rescue, was called and swept the shores, finding nothing. They checked the area with sonar and it was clear. The canoe was then removed and it was determined it had been sunk for quite a while.
