The New Fairfield Volunteer Fire Department responded Saturday afternoon on a report of a generator close to home on fire at on Llyod Avenue.  A firefighter that was at Ball Pond firehouse grabbed an extinguisher and saw that the fire was much worse. Most of the home was already fully involved.  Fire crews met some difficult issues with propane tanks leaking, down power lines and getting around the neighborhood due to the recent storm.

All the occupants were out of the home before the fire department arrived.  Neighbors helped to drag fire hose, move cars and bring equipment.  Firefighters from New Fairfield, Putnam Lake, Sherman and Danbury provided mutual aid.  An investigation by the state fire marshal is ongoing for exact cause.

 

On Saturday, Danbury fire companies were dispatched to North Nabby Road for a reported shed fire.  Additional tankers were requested from the volunteer fire companies. Crews faced a lot of storm debris still remaining from Tuesday's severe weather. The fire was quickly extinguished and the Danbury Fire Marshals office is investigating the cause of the fire.
