| While returning from another alarm at 10:31hrs, Truck Co. 2 noticed smoke from the rear of a dwelling on Fairfield Ave in the Golden Hill section of the City and quickly realized a vehicle was on fire in a garage of a three story multi family dwelling. The full structural fire assignment was requested to the scene.
While Norwalk Professional Firefighters were extinguishing the vehicle fire and conducting searches of the structure. An occupant was located in the vehicle. Due to limited space in the garage, NFD Firefighters breached an exterior wall in the garage to gain access and remove the victim.
The victim was transported to Norwalk Hospital then to Bridgeport Hospital Burn Unit.
The fire was contained to the garage area by a first alarm assignment with smoke damage to floors above.
There were no other injuries to firefighters or civilians. The fire is under investigation by the Norwalk Fire Marshals Division & Connecticut State Police Fire And Explosion Investigation Unit. |
