Thank you "johnd248".

A massive response.
I know from Norwich Battalion 1, Squad A, and Truck 1 responded about 9:00 pm. About an hour later Battalion 1 requested reserve Engine 4 for additional manpower.
Also Yantic Engine 33 and Taftville Tower 25 responded.

Old Mystic FD was requested mutual aid to Foxwoods at 8:20 pm and sent Squad 62 and Rescue 67
Ledyard FD sent unit R-13
Westerly, RI FD sent Engine 1 with Car 31 at 9:56 pm

But as "johnd248" aka "Johnny D" posted there were numerous other fire departments that responded.
One of the largest responses that I can ever remember in Southeastern, Ct

Watch Hill Fire Department, RI (separate from the Westerly Dept.) posted that they relocated to Ledyard:

Last evening, just after 10 p.m., the Watch Hill Fire Department responded to the Town of Ledyard, Connecticut, providing regional coverage with Ladder 104 at the Ledyard Fire Company. Due to a 5th-alarm ongoing fire at Foxwoods Resort Casino, additional resources were strategically positioned throughout the area in case of further emergencies, as directed by command staff and our regional dispatchers.

WHFD’s crew of 4, led by Chief Reall, stood by with a guide from Ledyard Fire for just about four hours. This is the first time in recent memory that we have been requested to this region of Connecticut for a response. As always, we are proud to provide assistance whenever and wherever it is needed.

Additional WHFD members remained in our district to ensure continued coverage at home.
