Another House Fire In Monroe: Crews Tackle Jockey Hollow Road Blaze
Local firefighters tackled another house fire Monday, the second in two days and the fifth in the town in five weeks. Members of the Monroe Volunteer Fire Department answered a report of a fire at a Jockey Hollow Road residence around 11:30 p.m. First responders found and quickly extinguished an active fire in the kitchen, thereby containing the fire damage to that one room. The residents self-evacuated to the front porch, but police officers and EMS crews assisted a disabled occupant down to further safety. No one was injured. The Fire Marshal believes the cause of the blaze was related to the misuse of an extension cord, according to officials reporting on Facebook. Firefighters were on site until 1 a.m. "We continue to stress the importance of having working smoke alarms throughout the house," fire officials posted on social media.

2 Monroe Residents Treated For Smoke Inhalation From Laundry Room Fire
PHOTOS: Two people were treated for smoke inhalation following a residential laundry room fire Sunday evening in Monroe. Emergency crews from Stevenson Volunteer Fire Company, Stepney Fire Department and Monroe Volunteer Emergency Medical Service responded to the report of the fire on Lynn Drive around 7:30. Fire damage was limited to the laundry room, but there was a significant smoke condition throughout the house. The two residents evaluated by Monroe EMS did not require hospitalization, according to fire officials. The occupants are staying with relatives while the smoke damage is addressed. This is the fourth house fire in Monroe in the past five weeks, according to officials, who took to social media to remind residents to regularly clean the lint from clothes dryer exhaust hoses and vents.

New Norwalk emergency radio system links police, fire, public works to state network, officials say
The city's police, fire and public works departments have joined a statewide radio network that will enable them to communicate when out of town and with members of other agencies that use the network. The Police Department announced Friday that the city's new Norwalk Emergency Communications Radio System went live, in conjunction with the Connecticut Land Mobile Radio System. The capital project to replace the department's previous radio system began in 2021. The new system connects the city's police, fire and public works departments, the Police Department said in a release, and in addition to "ensuring emergency radio communications and interoperability throughout the City of Norwalk, the system also provides for interoperability throughout the state."
