Plover Lane Shed Fire Extinguished “Rapidly” without any injuries
Westport Fire Department
The Westport Fire Department was requested to respond to a reported shed fire.
The initial report from the caller reported that the shed was located next to a house. The initial dispatch included four engines, a ladder truck, and the shift commander. Mutual aid was also dispatched to the scene and for station coverage.
The first arriving unit reported a fully involved shed that was approximately 10 feet from two houses. It appeared that fire was extending to the exterior of both residential structures. The first engine began fire attack while additional units responded.
Upon the arrival of additional units, a second hose line was deployed for exposure protection and fire extinguishment.
Additional personnel were assigned to check the interior of both residences for extension and occupants.
Quick action by firefighters allowed for a rapid extinguishment of all visible fire. The fire was confined to the exterior of both houses and the shed.
The cause of the fire is under investigation and there were no injuries to civilians or fire personnel at the time of this writing

Al’s Angels Flips Switch to Cribari Bridge Christmas Lights for 2021 Season
Marking the unofficial start to the holiday season, Al DiGuido and Al’s Angels switched on the Christmas light display on the Cribari Memorial Bridge last night. A small ceremony for the lighting was held at the Saugatuck Rowing and Fitness Club, where volunteers collected donations for families in need while celebrating the lighting of the bridge with hot cocoa - and even a visit from Santa Claus himself. The bridge will remain lit every night during the Christmas season to bring light and joy into the community - a now two decade tradition for Westport.
