Building Code Violations Found Following East Hartford Fire

EAST HARTFORD, CT — A fire at a multi-family home Friday afternoon on Burnside Avenue led to the town discovering code violations, according to The Journal-Inquirer. Fourteen people were displaced not because of the fire, but due repairs that need to be done for the building to be in compliance.

Firefighters responded to a small mattress fire on the third floor of the multi-family home. The fire was quickly extinguished and the building was not significantly damaged, according to The Journal-Inquirer.

The blaze is under investigation by the Fire Marshal's office.
