One person was hospitalized in a weekend fire in Bethel.  Stony Hill and Bethel Volunteer Fire Companies responded to Reservoir Street on a report of fire in the walls. 

Responding units soon learned it was the home of Bethel Fire Chief Scott Murphy. 

Units encountered heavy fire showing from the rear porch and quickly knocked down the flames to stop the spread to the rest of the home.  Firefighters opened up the walls to gain access to affected areas and remained on scene for an extended period of time. 

One resident was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. 

Danbury Fire Department provided mutual aid on scene while Brookfield covered the Stony Hill station and handled a carbon monoxide call while they were out.  The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
