Sunday Morning Fire Destroys East Haddam Home
Homeowners are safe, but a vehicle was badly damaged.
An early-morning fire gutted a two-story home in East Haddam, according to Haddam Fire Public Information Officer Jesse Drake.
The East Haddam Fire Department responded to a fully involved structure fire on Stony Brook Drive just before 4 a.m. Sunday. According to Drake, the Haddam Volunteer Fire Company responded on a mutual aid call.
The homeowners escaped the blaze unharmed, but the building was a total loss and one of their vehicles sustained heavy damage.
Haddam Fire assisted in fighting the fire and overhaul, along with firefighters from Colchester, Chester, East Hampton and Old Lyme. Numerous other area departments provided tankers.
The fire is under investigation by the East Haddam fire marshal’s office, Drake said.
