CERT Assists at 220 Morse St. Fire

CERT was called out just after 3 am on August 30 for a fire on Morse Street. Luckily everyone was able to evacuate both the house with the fire and the neighboring house that had ultimately had only siding damage. The Hamden Firefighters were able to stop the fire from causing additional damage because of their offensive attack on the building of origin. The Fire Marshal's Office is investigating the cause of the fire. Hamden CERT assisted the occupants of both buildings & supplied logistical & rehabilitation services to the firefighters. Please be reminded of the need to make sure you have working smoke detectors.
