Fire At Welding Business Reported Tuesday: Milford Fire

MILFORD, CT — Milford fire officials say they are investigating a Tuesday morning fire at R.D. Welding Services.

Adam Hansen, a department spokesperson, said at 8:08 a.m., Milford Emergency Operations Center (EOC) received a 911 call for a reported building fire at 655 Plains Road.

Hansen said when crews arrived, they found the fire had been extinguished inside a welding shop. Fire crews determined that minor contents were involved in the fire and it did not extend to the structure.

Hansen said a smoke condition was created inside the building, and crews worked to ventilate and remove all the smoke.

No injuries were reported, and the fire appeared to be an accident, Hansen said, while adding that the blaze is under investigation.
