A teenager jumped from a second story window to escape a house fire, which killed the family's pet rabbit.  Bethel and Stony Hill Firefighters were alerted to a house fire with possible entrapment on Nashville Road yesterday morning. 

The teen jumped from the home and was caught by a neighbor and transported to the hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation.  Crews found flames in the first floor kitchen. The first floor suffered extensive smoke and fire damage. The second floor sustained smoke and heat damage.

Redding, West Redding and Phoenix Hose of Danbury responded to the scene while a crew from Brookfield covered the fire station.  The cause is under investigation by the Bethel Fire Marshal's office. Unfortunately a pet rabbit perished in the fire. 

Stony Hill firefighters thanked Bethel Veterinary Hospital for their efforts to try to resuscitate the rabbit.
