Cat Saved, 4 Adults, 2 Children Displaced By House Fire In Norwalk: FD

NORWALK, CT — Crews saved a cat from a house fire that broke out early Monday morning on Camp Street, according to the Norwalk Fire Department.

In a news release, Assistant Chief Timothy Reardon said crews were called to the 2.5-story single family home around 5 a.m. and found smoke coming from both floors and the attic.

According to Reardon, crews found heavy fire in the home's finished basement, which extended to the first floor living room.

The blaze was extinguished and brought under control in approximately 20 minutes, Reardon said.

No injuries were reported.

One cat was safely removed from the home by firefighters, and the residents all safely self-evacuated the house "due to the presence of working smoke detectors," Reardon said.

Four adults and two children were displaced by the fire and are receiving assistance from the American Red Cross, according to Reardon.

The incident is currently under investigation by the Norwalk Fire Marshal Division, Reardon said.
