11 New Milford families, 28 people in all, have been left without a home because of a condo fire. The blaze broke out at Harrybrooke Park Condominiums early Tuesday morning.
Fire officials say it was caused by improperly disposed of charcoal grill contents.
Smoke detectors alerted occupants of the affected units and no injuries were reported. The Red Cross is assisting the impacted families.
Water Witch Hose officials say first arriving units were met by heavy smoke from the attic of the entire building and fire consuming a portion of the rear wall spanning 3 floors. Mutual aid was called for from Northville, Gaylordsville, and Brookfield. Danbury also provided an engine and crew to help with overhaul, their air supply truck to refill air packs at the scene, and Washington covered the Water Witch fire station.
