At 7:21 this evening, the Westport Fire Department responded to a basement fire on Half Mile Common. The initial dispatch was for an automatic alarm through a central monitoring company for an activated smoke detector. The incident was upgraded to a structure fire as soon as a 9-1-1 call was received from the occupant of the house. The Westport Fire Department responded with four Engine, one Ladder Truck, the Shift Commander’s car and a Fire Inspector.
Upon arrival Fire Fighters confirmed that all occupants were out of the building and were able to confine the fire spread to the ceiling and wall area of a bathroom in the finished basement area of the house. There was no spread of fire to the upper floors of the house. There was a moderate smoke condition in the remainder of the house which was ventilated using smoke ejectors. Fire Fighters were able to save the family’s six year old guinea pig from the house. Fairfield Fire Department sent an Engine Company to cover fire calls from Westport Fire Headquarters for the duration of the incident. There were no civilian or Fire Fighter injuries. The last fire apparatus cleared the scene at 2138 hrs.
