32 Raleigh Rd (Otto-1)
Electrical fire damages Bridgeport home
AARON LEO ConnPost 06/13/2008
BRIDGEPORT — A possible electrical fire damaged the top floor of a 1947 Cape Cod home at 32 Raleigh Road late Thursday. The home is owned by Ottilie B. and John M. Butz and is assessed at $128,810, according to Web-based city land records. The homeowners weren't immediately available for comment. Deputy Fire Chief Robert Petrucelli said a woman and her mother live in the home. The daughter told firefighters her lights flickered Thursday night and she went to check the breaker box. When she returned upstairs, "she said the second floor was starting to fill with smoke," Petrucelli said. Firefighters were called about 11:15 p.m. The woman escaped the fire unharmed. Her mother was not home at the time. The cause is being investigated by an inspector from the Fire Marshal Division, according to Petrucelli. There are two bedrooms upstairs, and the firefighters had to pull down the upstairs ceilings to prevent the fire from spreading, the deputy chief said. Some water leaked downstairs to the first floor, he added. Firefighters were still putting out little areas of fire in the roof shortly after midnight Friday.
