Shortly after 11 p.m.,a three-alarm fire consumed a 2,569 square foot house at 195 North Main Street. Three adults were inside the home at the time, but all escaped unharmed, according to authorities. Mutual aid from several neighboring towns was requested, and the Red Cross again responded to aid the family.

One firefighter sustained a minor leg injury, and was treated and released from an area medical facility, authorities said.
