NORWALK, CT — A Norwalk house was deemed unfit for occupancy after heavy fire broke out in the home's dining room Tuesday morning, according to fire officials.

In a news release, Deputy Fire Chief Adam Markowitz said firefighters and emergency medical services crews were called to Cindy Lane around 8 a.m. after receiving a report of a structure fire.

According to Markowitz, the fire broke out in the dining room of a split-level ranch-style home, and everyone was already out of the building when crews arrived.

Crews encountered smoke coming from the eaves of the home. Firefighters were able to force entry and make their way to the dining room, where they encountered high heat and heavy fire, Markowitz said.

The fire was starting to extend out of the dining room and into other areas of the home, however crews extinguished the blaze in about 30 minutes, according to Markowitz.
