Garage Fire Causes Heavy Smoke In Home: Milford Fire Dept.

MILFORD, CT — A two-bay garage caught fire, causing a large volume of smoke on the house's second floor, Adam Hansen, Milford Fire Department PIO, said.

On Nov. 16, around 4:10 p.m., the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) received a 911 call for a report of a structure fire at 200 Grinnell St, Hansen said.

Fire crews responded, and when they arrived, they found a two-story wooden framed single-family house with smoke showing from the Alpha/Bravo sides of the structure, Hansen said.

Fire crews found a fire in the attached two-bay garage, with the bulk of the fire being extinguished before the fire department arrived, Hansen said.

All occupants made it out of the structure, and crews checked for extension in the walls and ceilings, Hansen said.

One of the occupants was evaluated on the scene by paramedics for smoke inhalation but refused transport to the hospital, Hansen said.

Fire crews found a large volume of smoke on the second floor. The house was ventilated, and all the smoke and Carbon Monoxide were removed using Positive Pressure Ventilation, Hansen said.

The Deputy Fire Marshal was called to the scene, and the cause of the fire is under investigation, Hansen said.
