4 Homeless after Old Town Road, Trumbull, Fire

A basement fire at 676 Old Town Road at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday left a family of two adults and two children temporarily homeless.

No one was injured in the fire, which damaged the basement of the Cape Cod-style home and caused smoke damage to the other floors, Rauso said.

It was reported by a 911 caller and Bridgeport initially responded because the road borders on Briidgeport, Rauso said. Bridgeport firefighters extinguished the flames, Rauso said.

The cause is under investigation, Rauso added.

The Red Cross is helping the family with emergency food, clothing, toiletries and housing, said Red Cross Spokesman Richard Shipman.

"American Red Cross disaster assistance is free of charge, a gift made possible by generous donations and the work of volunteers.  For more information about the Red Cross and how you can help, visit www.redcross.org," he said.
