STRATFORD, CT — Micalizzi's Italian Ice in Stratford has closed indefinitely after a fire devastated the building early Saturday morning, according to the business and authorities.

The Stratford Fire Department responded to the blaze at 3600 Main St. shortly before 3 a.m., officials said on social media. More than 20 firefighters were called to extinguish the flames, which spread from the front of the building to the roof, officials said.
