Firefighters Quickly extinguish House fire in Devon

At 1357 hrs, the Milford Fire Department Emergency Operations Center received a 911 telephone call for a reported house fire at 150 Riverside Dr. Dispatchers quickly sent Engines 3, 4, 1, Tower 1, Rescue 2 and the Shift Commander to the scene.

Engine Company 3 arrived on the scene and found a single family house with heavy fire showing from the first floor windows. An attack line was pulled and firefighters entered the structure to attack the fire and search for any occupants. The main fire had extended into the attack area and this too was quickly knocked down. All occupants had gotten out of the house prior to the arrival of the Fire Department.

At this time the fire is under investigation and the Red Cross is working with the family to find the shelter for this evening.
