Meriden 6th alarm 169 Pratt St. building fire
05/05/23 Meriden, CT – Firefighters from the Pratt St. firehouse, only several block away, found a large factory building with heavy smoke and fire showing from the rear. The building was partially vacant at the time. Firefighters did a quick search and found one employee in the building and assisted him to safety before a second alarm was transmitted. Companies then went defensive. Multiple additional alarms were transmitted rapidly as the fire quickly extended throughout the building. The additional alarms brought companies from as far away as Hartford and Hamden to the scene. The fire took about two hours to bring under control. Companies remained on the scene for a fire watch throughout the night. The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Meriden and State Fire Marshal’s office.

This account is from CBS LosAngeles:

Two people were killed and three others were injured Thursday morning in a suspicious Echo Park apartment fire [that] broke out around 12:15 a.m. in the 1000 block of N. Bonnie Brae Street, the Los Angeles Fire Department said. The 11-unit building was completely engulfed when more than 100 firefighters arrived on scene to find residents jumping out of windows to escape the flames.

Firefighters were forced to use rotary saws to cut through security bars in order to rescue residents.

The blaze, which investigators believe was sparked in a rear unit, was extinguished in 53 minutes.

The bodies of a 20-year-old man and 90-year-old Rosa Aurora Fonsseca were later found inside, officials said.

The man suffered a broken leg after jumping from the second story of the building, while the girl was treated for smoke inhalation. The extent of the firefighter’s injuries was not released. Officials told KCAL9′s Dave Lopez a fourth person may have also been injured.

The cause of the fire was unknown, however, officials believe an accelerant may have been used.
