The fire was reported at 4:09 p.m. School crossing guard Diane Fisher said she saw smoke coming from the first-floor window of the building facing Connecticut Avenue. “The next thing you know I saw flames and I said ‘Oh my God it’s on fire,” Fisher said. She called 911. Firefighters arrived to find everyone in the home had safely evacuated. A search turned up no further occupants, New London Fire Battalion Chief Mark Waters said. Waters said an aggressive interior attack by firefighters helped confine the fire to one first-floor room. There is smoke and water damage throughout the home, however. At least three people were displaced. The fire marshal’s office is investigating the cause of the fire.
