Christmas tree causes house fire

All posts tagged Christmas tree causes house fire

New Haven, CT – New Haven FCC received numerous calls for fire on a first floor of a house at 73 Kossuth St in the city’s Hill section.  Engine Eleven arrived first-due to find the front of the house heavily involved in fire.  A second alarm was transmitted due to water supply issues with the hydrant in front of the fire building resulting in a delay in water on the fire.  Members employed an exterior attack for most of the firefight.  No one was injured in the fire which was caused by a Christmas tree catching on fire.  Ten adults and two children were displaced as a result of the fire.
