YOU READ IT HERE FIRST: No immediate injuries were reported in a stubborn fire that blew through a New Milford duplex tonight.
“As far as we know, all the residents got out,” Police Chief Frank Papapietro told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.
The blaze broke out at 222 Main Street just after 9:30 p.m.
Several area companies rushed to aid their New Milford colleagues. A ladder truck and several lines poured water on the fire well past 10:30.
Ten minutes or so earlier, command pulled all personnel from the 2½-story, wood-frame building.
A DPW sander truck was requested, as well as PSE&G to cut the power. The building department and mayor were notified, as well.
