SEYMOUR – An early morning fire at 121 North St. Saturday left several families temporarily displaced, and a resident was transported to Griffin Hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation.
He was treated and released, a hospital spokesperson said.
Fire officials said it could have been far worse.
“We were very lucky that nobody died,” said Fire Marshall Paul Wetowitz. Residents of Sunny Knoll apartment complex used good fire safety techniques that enabled them to escape or be rescued, he said.
The evidence indicates that the 5 a.m. blaze started on a stove top in a third floor apartment where a man had been cooking French fried potatoes, Wetowitz said. The man said he thought he turned the burner off, and he fell asleep on the couch.
