NORWALK
By LUCAS HAMMERMAN
Norwalk Hour Staff Writer
A family of ten has been temporarily displaced due to a fire at 424 Rowayton Ave. which destroyed a bedroom and hallway on the top floor. Bishop Michael Densmore and his family were at church when the fire broke out in their home. "Wow, I just can't believe this has happened," Densmore said. Densmore is the founder and Senior Pastor of Community Tabernacle and the Chief Prelate of the Community Churches of God Incorporated. According to Captain Edward McCabe, the Norwalk Fire Department received a call at 11:38. Station Two responded and were able to contain the fire to the bedroom and hallway. The fire was contained and extinguished within a half-hour, according to McCabe. The smell of smoldering wood and smoke lingered around the houses facade, outside of which the fire department was debriefing. Three engines, two ladder trucks and several other vehicles responded to the scene. An investigation as to the cause of the fire is currently underway.
The house was occupied at the time of the fire by workers. "There were workmen in the vicinity doing electrical work," McCabe said.

"I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a fireman. The position may, in the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one; but we who know the work which the fireman has to do believe that his is a noble calling. Our proudest moment is to save lives. Under the impulse of such thoughts, the nobility of the occupation thrills us and stimulates us to deeds of daring, even of supreme sacrifice."
Chief Edward F. Croker, FDNY
