October 1, 2019

The Norwalk Fire Department responded to a reported lawn mower fire in a garage, at 4 Bayberry Lane, at 3:46pm Tuesday afternoon. When firefighters arrived the 2 car garage below the ranch style house, was fully involved in fire and extending up the side of the home. Firefighters initial fire attack was hampered by the electrical service line arcing, after it burned off the house, but despite the slight delay maneuvering the hose lines around the downed wire the fire was brought under control in 20 minutes.

One of the owners of the home was outside when Firefighters arrived, but her 3 cats remained inside. Fortunately all 3 were found alive after searching for several minutes. They were taken to a local Veterinarian  to be checked out. A Toyota Highlander also sustained fire damage, as it was parked in front of the garage doors. Fire and heat damage was primarily in the garage with some extension into the living areas. The home was posted unfit for occupancy and Fire Marshal Broderick Sawyer is investigating the cause.

3 Engines, 2 Trucks a Rescue and Command Car responded with 25 Firefighters. Fire crews cleared the scene by 5:53pm.
