Ansonia, CT – At approximately 7:45am on August 12, 2015, Ansonia Fire Marshal Ralph Tingley was flagged down by a citizen while driving up Finney Street. Upon investigation, he found a large 1-story ranch-style house at 2 Greenfield Drive with smoke showing from the ridge vent. He called on the radio for an assignment and the fire appeared to be a working kitchen fire extending down a hall and also into the attic. The Ansonia Fire Department quickly arrived on scene and after and aggressive interior attack, they had the fire knocked down shortly thereafter.

Two residents and their two dogs were home at the time of the blaze (an elderly mother and her adult son). It was reported that the son received burns removing his mother and dog from the home and that everybody was doing well later that afternoon.

The Green Bay Metro Fire Dept. says the fire at Smitty’s Salvage Yard, 2325 Main St., started outside and since spread to the building. The building that started on fire had tires in it. 30 fire departments from as far as Pulaski and Manitowoc County assisted at the scene. The fire was caused during the removal of a vehicle gas tank; gas leaking from the tank caught fire. This was an accidental fire.  One firefighter sustained minor injuries.
