1 Injured When Fire Rips Through Milford Home

MILFORD, CT — A person suffered minor injuries in a fire that hit a two-story home in Milford on Monday night, according to Battalion Chief and Public Information Officer Adam Hansen.

Milford emergency communications received multiple 911 calls at 11:24 p.m. reporting a structure fire at an Amber Lane home.

Firefighters responded and found a two-story, wooden-framed, single-family home that was "well involved with fire," Hansen said. Heavy fire was showing on the first and second floors. Firefighters used multiple hand lines on the home's interior.

All three people in the house and the family dog escaped.

A frozen hydrant delayed firefighters' initial attempts at battling the blaze. Firefighters used two water tankers and more than 1,000 gallons of water in the meantime.

A person was transported to an area hospital for treatment of minor injuries. The American Red Cross is working to assist the family.

The Milford Fire Marshals Office is investigating.
