Somethington Firefighters jumped on a house fire early Thursday morning on Heritage Drive, containing the blaze that left one resident with burns and led to a heroic dog rescue. The fire kicked off in a camper parked nearby, quickly spreading flames to the house and up into the attic, prompting crews to declare a working fire. And upgrade to a second alarm. All occupants had already gotten out safely by the time help arrived, but one person needed on-scene treatment from medics before heading to the hospital no firefighter injuries reported. Squad 5 pulled the dog from inside, turning a tough scene into a win for the family pet, while the fire stayed limited thanks to fast hose lines. And interior attacks. Mutual aid rolled in from Bristol, Meriden, New Britten, Plainville, and Cheshire, with others covering stations as fire marshals and police probe. The cause to keep future homes safe.
