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.
