Residents of Harrybrooke Condos in New Milford have been displaced by an early morning fire.  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. 

An initial attack was made at the rear of the building and into the 3rd floor bedrooms, and roof for ventilation.  The bulk of fire, reported around 4:45am, was knocked down quickly.  The entire building was ventilated by 7am. 

Smoke detectors alerted occupants of the affected units and New Milford Police evacuated the remainder of the building.

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. 

The Red Cross is helping those displaced.  New Milford social services team has been contacted. 

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
