A structure fire was reported in Southbury last night.  Firefighters responded to George’s Hill shortly before 8pm. The first arriving firefighters identified smoke in the basement and crews quickly extinguished the flames before the blaze could extend beyond the basement.

Smoke was reported in the area of the covered bridge apartments in Newtown last night.  Hawleyville Volunteer Fire Company responded around 9:30pm and the first crews on scene noticed a significant amount of smoke. It was determined that the smoke was coming from a mulch fire that was from a property backing up to the apartments. After the fire was located, a tanker truck responded to assist.  Firefighters cleared the scene after little more than an hour.
