An overnight fire at apartment and condo complex in Middletown left several residents without a home and two firefighters suffering from heat exhaustion.
Fire officials believe the fire started around midnight in the second floor of a three story building that’s part of the large Trolley Crossing complex on West Lake Drive.
The complex houses apartments and condominiums.
Firefighters said they arrived to see flames shooting out of one side and the roof of one building. They were able to evacuate the residents and work to put out the fire.
"When we responded, we saw heavy smoke so we called out a full first alarm, which brought in more units from Middletown and Cromwell," said Darryl Ponzio, deputy chief, Westfield Fire District. "And then we went to work to extinguish it."
