GREENWICH, CT — A fire broke out at a building in Byram on Monday morning, according to Greenwich fire officials.

Units responded to the building, which is on Mill Street across from the Byram Fire Station, and found a working fire with smoke showing from the top floor of a three-story building.

"There were initial reports of children trapped on the top floor and an aggressive interior attack was initiated with additional crews searching for the possible trapped parties. The building was searched and primaries were negative," Greenwich Professional Firefighters said on Facebook.

Residents in the building were able to self-evacuate, fire officials said, noting that crews were held the flames to the rear and to the cockloft, or attic, of the building.

Greenwich Time reported that the Red Cross is helping displaced residents find shelter.

No injuries were reported to civilians or firefighters, and the scene was handed over to the Greenwich Fire Marhal's Office.
