Cause of Fire that Damaged 5 Condos in Southbury Revealed: Report

A fire this past summer that damaged five condos on Winship Drive as part of Heritage Village was determined to be accidental and no criminal charges will be filed, the Republican-American reports.

One building will likely have to be demolished.
