Suffield Home Deemed Uninhabitable After Friday Morning Fire

SUFFIELD, CT — A fire caused extensive damage to a Suffield home Friday morning, and an occupant was transported to a hospital.

Fire Chief Charles Flynn said the fire on Boston Neck Road was reported around 7 a.m. Upon arrival, firefighters saw flames and heavy smoke in the rear of the single-family home.

A resident of the home who suffers from mobility issues was rescued and transported to a local hospital. Flynn said he did not know the man's condition at this time.

Mutual aid was received from neighboring fire districts in Thompsonville, Enfield and Windsor Locks, while the Southwick (MA) Fire Department provided coverage for the west end of town, Flynn said.

The house "is not a total loss, but has been deemed uninhabitable," Flynn said, adding the cause of the blaze is under investigation.
