Bethel, Stony Hill Fire Departments Battle Blaze That Displaced Family

Written by Rob Fish

BETHEL, CT — The Bethel and Stony Hill Fire Departments were dispatched to Eagle Rock Hill in the Plumtrees Heights Condominium complex late Saturday morning for a working structure fire.

Arriving units found heavy fire rapidly extending up and into the end unit. With fire hydrants in close proximity, Bethel's Engine 6 and Tower 1 immediately went to work, and were quickly able to prevent the fire from extending any further inside the occupied unit, which suffered from heat, smoke, and water damage.

The American Red Cross had a representative on scene to help with displaced occupants. There were no injuries to occupants or firefighters on scene.

Mutual Aid was provided by the City of Danbury with Engine 22, while West Redding and Brookfield Fire Departments provided standby coverage in town.

The Bethel Fire & EMS said, "We would like to thank all who came out and thank you to all of our mutual aid companies— Redding, Danbury and Brookfield. It was a great stop and no one was injured."
