NEW MILFORD — Firefighters from four units took about 40 minutes to extinguish a heavy blaze Thursday evening inside a Railroad Street apartment, according fire officials. There were no injuries.
The fire, which began around 9 p.m., originated from one apartment of a four-apartment building at the intersection of Bank and Railroad Street, Fire Marshal Kevin Reynolds said Friday morning.
“One apartment was damaged. There were no injuries. The fire began in an office area. The occupant was not home,” said Reynolds, adding there were no pets in the apartment.
Units from Brookfield, Water Witch Hose Company #2, Northville, and Gaylordsville in New Milford were on scene, and a New Milford ambulance was standing by, Reynolds said.
“It took us about 40 minutes to bring the fire under control. There was heavy fire in the apartment itself,” said Reynolds, describing the fire as “very hot and smoky.”
He added when the fire alarm in the building sounded, the rest of the occupants in the building evacuated, and stood outside for about an hour before it was safe to go back inside.
The cause of the fire is unknown and is under investigation, Reynolds said.
