Norwalk Hour Staff Reports
A fire that started behind a mantle over a fireplace spread through the interior of the walls of a Bobwhite Drive home, destroyed the attic and tore through the roof of the house, Norwalk fire officials said. Twenty firefighters responded to a call of a chimney fire at 5 Bobwhite Drive at 3:04 p.m., and the last firefighter left the single-family home at 5:02 p.m., according to Deputy Chief Steven Shay. Firefighters had the fire under control within 20 minutes of responding to the scene but in the process of extinguishing the fire, they had to tear out walls, fire officials said. The family cannot return home for at least one night, Shay said. "It's a mess because we have to open up the walls to get to the fire," he said.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
