A 2-alarm fire had to be extinguished last night in a Shelter Rock Lane business in Danbury.  Police received a burglar alarm around 5pm and noticed smoke coming from the C and S Auto Truck and Repair building. 

Firefighters arrived to find heavy black smoke billowing from the commercial structure.  A 2nd alarm was struck, bringing in additional resources due to the size and occupancy of the building. Smoke and carbon monoxide were throughout the entire building, requiring additional time to ventilate the entire structure. Eversource was requested to secure the power and gas feeds to the building.

The Danbury Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating. There was no one in the building at the time of the fire and no injuries were reported.  The scene was cleared around 7:30pm.
