06/19/13 Bridgeport, CT-
A late afternoon fire tore through an occupied house on 181 Poplar Street. The fire was reported by police, in the area for a disturbance, who helped evacuate the residents prior to the fire departments arrival.
The safety officer arrived on scene reporting a large three story, wood frame well involved with the exposure also going. A second alarm was transmitted forthwith.
The first due engine arrived and dumped the monitor darkening down the fire with the help of multiple hand lines. Companies aggressively went interior and knocked down the remaining fire. Six engine, three trucks and the rescue worked for about an hour to control the fire.
No one was injured in the fire and several families were displaced. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
