There was a fire in Bethel on Saturday afternoon.  The blaze was reported at a construction building on Paul Street around 12:45 pm.  The Stony Hill Volunteer Fire Department says crews initially knocked down the flames, but they then spread to the roof. Firefighters had to cut open the roof to fully extinguish the fire.  Firefighters were on the scene for nearly 2 hours.  There were no reported injuries.  Danbury, Redding and Brookfield responded with mutual aid.  The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection also responded.
