2nd alarm New Haven 28 Stevens St. dwelling fire

12/24/16 New Haven firefighters went to work just after midnight Christmas morning for a fire involving two occupied dwellings. First arriving companies from the hill station found heavy fire venting from the second floor and rear of the original fire building. It quickly extended to the number four side exposure, a similar occupied dwelling. A second alarm was transmitted as firefighters attacked both dwellings. Multiple lines were stretched to darken down the heavy fire. Searches proved negative in both structures. The blaze took about an hour to bring under control. One person was transported to the hospital with burns. The cause of the fire is being investigated.
