2.25-story 26' by 39' wood-frame 2-family heavily damaged.
Child badly burned at Salem St. fire
BRIDGEPORT - A two-alarm fire in the city's north end sent one child to the hospital with serious burns and left three families homeless. Fire officials said that the three-story home at 234 Salem St. was heavily involved when fire companies arrived just after midnight. Three ladder trucks and five fire engines responded to the blaze. Deputy Chief Ivan Fossesigurani said that five people in all were transported to the hospital, and that one of them, a child, received serious burns. "We were able to keep it from spreading to the surrounding buildings," he said. "We were lucky - they were real close to each other." The investigation into the cause of the blaze is continuing.
Heater examined in fire; victim critical
