New Milford family displaced by a fire

A New Milford family has been displaced by a fire.  Water Witch Hose received several 911 calls about a possible structure fire on Candlewood Lake Road North Saturday night.  The structure was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived and extra tankers were called in from Brookfield, Gaylordsville and Northville. 

Several more calls inundated the dispatch center since the flames could be seen from most of the Route 7 valley. 

The family was not home at the time and no injuries to firefighters were reported. 

Some 30 firefighters battled icy conditions and freezing temps to bring the flames under control after an hour and a half. A partial collapse of the structure made for an extensive overhaul but units were able to clear the scene after three hours, to begin restocking the trucks back at Headquarters. 

Bridgewater provided coverage at the Water Witch firehouse while Kent, Washington, Hawleyville and Stony Hill back filled for Mutual Aid. The road was briefly closed by New Milford Police for the tanker shuttle and Public Works kept it from icing up.
