Fire Department Comes to Aid of Danbury Man

DANBURY, CT - The Fire Department answered a call about a kitchen fire on Tuesday morning. The homeowner was able to extinguish the fire, but still required hospitalization for smoke inhalation.

The FD was dispatched around 7:30 a.m. to 11 Woodbury Lane. There they found the reported fire extinguished, but the kitchen heavily damaged from a cooking fire and resultant smoke conditions. The resident was able to extinguish the flames using a hose. He was taken by Danbury EMS to Danbury hospital.

“The home owner was very lucky that he was able to extinguish the fire with a small hose and using a towel to cover his face, but judging from the damage he was very lucky he did not suffer more than mild smoke inhalation,” said Deputy Fire Chief Williams.

The Danbury Fire Marshal’s Office was requested to the scene and the actual cause of the fire is under investigation.
