Norwalk House Fire Displaces 3, Kills Dog

0:00A three-alarm house fire broke out in Norwalk on Tuesday morning, displacing three people and killing their family dog. It hit a split-level home on full Marlene around 11.56 a.m., starting on the rear deck before flames shot up through the first and second, floors into multiple attic spaces. Crews rode in heavy three engines, two trucks, a rescue unit, and command right off the bat. These escalated fast, so they bumped it to a second alarm, then a third, pulling an every available Norwalk firefighter. No one got hurt. Neither firefighters nor residents, which is a huge relief amid the chaos. The three folks who lived there are getting support from the American Red Cross to find new spots while they sort this out. Mutual eight kicked in from Roewaiton, New Canaan, Westport, and Stanford to cover stations and they knocked the fire down in just about an hour. Fire marshals are digging into the cause now, so we'll keep an eye on what they uncover next. Stay safe out there folks.
