The home was fully involved upon arrival. No one was at home at the time of the fire. Crews pulled water from a pond at the base of the home’s driveway and dumped into a portable holding tank to supply water to the fire scene. The house and a detached two-car garage were a total loss.
The Haddam Fire Marshal, assisted by the state Fire Marshal’s Office, is investigating the cause.
