Westport Firefighters were dispatched to a report of an outdoor structure fire next to a residence. The initial dispatch was four Engines, one Truck company, and the Shift Commander. Enroute, WPD Officers arrived and advised that a structure next to the house was burning.
E5 arrived and stretched a hose line to extinguish the fire. Additional arriving companies provided a water supply and checked for fire extension to the residence. The fire damage was limited to the outdoor structure. Crews secured utilities and performed overhaul.
There were no reported injuries, and the incident is being investigated by the Westport Fire Marshal’s office. Norwalk and Fairfield fire departments provided station coverage during the incident.
Westport firefighters were assisted on scene by WPD and WEMS. The last unit cleared the scene at 1:47 AM.
