A Connecticut home undergoing renovations was destroyed by a catastrophic early morning fire that took firefighters at least an hour to get under control.
The West Hartford Fire Department responded to the fire at 711 Prospect Ave., around 6:24 a.m., Wednesday, Feb. 24, said Fire Chief Greg H. Priest.
When firefighters arrived on the scene they found flames visible from the second floor have heavy fire from several dies of the single-family home located in an area that is known for its older historic homes, the chief said.
As units were preparing for a search/rescue and fire attack, additional information from neighbors was provided that no one was currently occupying the residence but that work was being done on it, Priest said.
