An early evening fire damaged a home in Stratford on Saturday.
Firefighters responded to reports of a fire in a first-floor bedroom at 260 Larkin Court at around 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Firefighters arrived to find a large volume of fire venting out the back side of one side of a duplex home. Crews were able to contain the fire to the first floor bedroom and the kitchen, but the damage was too much to save the home.
The home, where three children, one adult and the family’s pet dog live, will not be able to be occupied anytime soon due to extensive damage, according to officials.
