Planck Vision Systems: Mystic Shipyard Fire Causes Significant Structural Damage, Estimated Loss of $1.2 Million

---

A fire erupted at a detached warehouse building at Mystic Shipyard, located at 100 Essex St., Mystic, Connecticut, on the night of Monday, February 25, 2025. The blaze was reported at 11:32 p.m. when a witness called 911 and alerted authorities to the fire. The fire quickly spread and engulfed the roof of the warehouse, causing significant damage to the structure. Fire crews from several departments were dispatched to the scene to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading further.

By the time crews arrived, the fire had caused severe structural and smoke damage to the detached warehouse and office building. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and firefighters were able to bring the fire under control. Despite their efforts, the warehouse building was left with significant damage, and investigators from the Town of Groton Police Fire Investigators and Mystic Fire Department’s Fire Marshal’s Office are working to determine the exact cause of the fire.

The estimated property damage from the fire is around $1.2 million, highlighting the potential destruction that fires can cause, especially in large, industrial settings. This serves as a reminder of the importance of early fire detection to prevent such extensive damage. With technologies like Planck Vision Systems’ TNC thermal imaging cameras, abnormal heat conditions can be detected before fires break out. Early detection allows for a quicker response, potentially saving lives and preventing the destruction of valuable assets.
