Fire Breaks Out On Home’s Solar Panels In Milford

Firefighters extinguished a fire on a solar panel at a Milford home Monday afternoon. Battalion Chief and Public Information Officer Adam Hansen said a 911 caller reported a roof was on fire at 80 Easy St. at 12:28 p.m. Firefighters arrived at the home to find solar panels on the front side of the building on fire. Companies quickly disconnected all electrical services to the panels, Hansen said. Crews exercised extreme caution in extinguishing the fire as there still could have been power flowing to the panels. Firefighters checked the house and attic for extension of the fire. However, crews had stopped the fire before it could spread into the house. No injuries were reported.

Fire damages part of Avon apartment complex; two firefighters injured

VIDEO: A fire damaged part of an apartment complex in Avon over the weekend and the cause is under investigation. Firefighters responded to a report of an exterior fire on Avonwood Road around 6:30 p.m. on Sunday. Large flames and thick black smoke could be seen coming from a porch at one of the apartments on the building. “They're porches that are built into the building so it seemed to be on a porch area, but it got up into the roof area of that one apartment on the third floor. So it's a void between the third floor and the roof. It's a flat roof. And it got into that void space and it started running the void space," said Avon Volunteer Fire Department Chief Bruce Appell. The location of the fire created challenges for the firefighters.

2nd fire destroys country club in West Hartford

VIDEO: Firefighters were called to the Wampanoag Country Club in West Hartford Sunday, just a day after a heavy fire in the building was extinguished Saturday, according to town Fire Chief Greg Priest. The fire, reported nearly 24 hours after fire crews were first called to Wampanoag Drive, consumed a "majority of the structure" and caused partial structural collapses "throughout the entire building," Priest said. No one was hurt as a result of the fire, and Priest said that there was no information to suggest anyone had been inside the building at the time. According to Priest, firefighters received a report at 2:18 a.m. from a nearby resident that fire was visible from the top of the Wampanoag Country Club building. A fire crew arrived at 2:23 a.m. and called for additional fire crews after finding a heavy fire through the roof.
