Fire outside house causes smoky condition

ANSONIA — It took about 20 minutes for Ansonia firefighters to extinguish a fire that started outside a two-family house at 182 North State St. on Thursday afternoon.

The cause of the fire is undetermined, said Asst. Fire Chief Ed Adamowski, but “there is some evidence of improperly discarded cigarette smoking material,” he said.

The fire started outside the left hand side of the wooden house, along a porch.
