The City of Norwalk Fire Department responded to a house fire on Fullmar Lane on the morning of April 14th at 11:56 AM with a first alarm assignment consisting of 3 Engine Companies, 2 Truck Companies, 1 Rescue Company, and Command and Safety personnel. The initial report indicated a fire on the rear deck.

Truck 1 and Engine 1 arrived on scene and encountered a well-involved structure fire with flames present on the first and second floors and rapidly extending to multiple attic spaces of the split-level house. Shortly thereafter the remaining assignment arrived and Command upgraded the incident to a second alarm assignment followed by a third alarm assignement, bringing all remaining City of Norwalk Fire Department resources to the scene. The fire was extinguished and brought under control in approximately 1 hour.

There were no reported injuries to firefighters or civilians. Very sadly, one dog was found by firefighters deceased within the fire area. 3 occupants were displaced by the fire and are receiving assistance from the American Red Cross.

The incident is currently under investigation by the Norwalk Fire Marshal Division.

While the fire occurred, the City of Norwalk fire stations were covered by mutual aid fire departments from Rowayton, New Canaan, Westport, and Stamford.
