Firefighters from nearly a dozen departments battled a house fire off of Parkview Drive in Hartford early Wednesday, Jan. 1.
Crews were called to the scene just after 1:30 a.m., where flames in an attached garage quickly spread to a portion of the house.
Fire officials said the homeowners made it out safely, and there were no injuries to firefighters. "It's going to be tough," said Gerry Wagner, the next-door neighbor. "I looked out the window and saw all the trucks."
In addition to the home, the flames ripped through at least two vehicles.
"I feel bad for them," said Wagner. "On New Year's Eve, especially. I don't know how long it is going to take before they can get back into the house.'
