“This wind-driven fire contributed to the rapid acceleration of fire conditions that caused damage to the siding of one neighbor’s home and quickly spread the fire onto the roof and into the attic space of a second neighbor’s home,” said Commander Roger Caisse. Caisse also said there is no doubt that the quick actions of the neighbors activating the 911 system and alerting sleeping residents in this home saved their lives. One elderly resident suffered some minor burns and was taken to Bridgeport Hospital by American Medical Response, according to officials. The Red Cross was on scene to assist residents of the fire with relocation as needed.
