Fire Spreads Through Hartford Home

Firefighters battled a two-alarm fire at a multifamily home on Westbourne Parkway in Hartford this morning and investigators are trying to determine the cause.

The fire started just after 3 a.m. in the basement of 66 and 68 Westbourne Parkway and spread through the walls to all levels of this house before firefighters got it under control. At one point, firefighters thought the fire was out, but determined there was fire in the walls.

Three adults who were home made it out safely before firefighters arrived and pets were rescued from the second floor.

None of the residents were injured, but one firefighter injured his foot during the fire and is expected to be OK.

The gas line was shut down after the odor of gas was reported, but officials said it this was not related to the fire.

The road was closed this morning, but has since reopened and fire vehicles have left the scene.

Officials said the residents are displaced and will receive some relocation assistance.
