• 2 hospitalized after house fire in Hamden (nbcconnecticut.com) — Cheshire firefighters helped Hamden crews battle a fast-moving house fire on Winnett Street Tuesday night that sent two residents to the hospital for smoke inhalation but caused no serious injuries. The older home’s balloon-frame construction let flames spread quickly, but working smoke detectors and a rapid multi-town response kept everyone safe while investigators continue probing the cause.
