Resident Injured In Shelton House Fire: FD

SHELTON, CT — A Shelton resident was injured in a house fire that broke out early Tuesday morning on Rolling Brook Lane, according to fire officials.

In a news release, fire officials said crews were called to the house around 1:30 a.m., however no smoke or fire could be seen from the front of the house. Smoke was later found coming from the back of the house in what appeared to be a bedroom.

As firefighters made their way inside the home, they found the fire behind a closed bedroom door, officials said. Crews quickly extinguished the fire and opened the windows to minimize damage.

All damage from the fire was contained to the bedroom thanks to the quick-thinking residents who closed the bedroom door, thus leaving the home habitable, officials said.

One of the home's three residents sustained burns to their hands and was taken to a hospital for treatment, officials said. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
