Rocky Hill, CT (March 30, 2022) – At least one person was hospitalized after a house fire on Richard Road Wednesday morning, March 30, according to reports from the Rocky Hill Fire Department.
Firefighters were dispatched to the scene around 11:30 a.m. Upon their arrival, they discovered heavy flames coming from the front of the home. Medics say all residents were able to escape the home but minor injuries were reported in connection with the blaze.
The Rocky Hill Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the incident and has not released further details.
Our thoughts go out to the injured victim, their family, and everyone else affected by this fire.
House Fires in Connecticut
Residential fire deaths and burn injuries can occur at any time in almost any situation. Firefighters, electricians, line cooks, and even small children have an increased risk of being severely or fatally injured.
When fires result in burn injuries or death at home, a landlord or contractor could be found negligent for having an outdated electrical system that goes on fire and injures a resident. Even if your burn injury seems trivial, burn victims are extremely vulnerable to serious infections and hospitalizations.
Regardless of whether you sustained first, second, or third-degree burns, you could have injuries serious enough to adversely impact the rest of your life. If you have been injured due to someone’s careless or negligent behavior, speak with a Connecticut personal injury attorney about a personal injury claim. If you wait too long, you might miss your opportunity.
Burn injuries can seriously affect victims and their families. Without warning, you could find yourself facing a protracted and painful recovery. You might be unable to return to work and, without any income, frustrated and stressed about how you are going to pay your hospital bills.
In addition to this, the insurance carrier may deny your claim, or even blame you for the fire. If somebody else was responsible for your burn injuries, you may be entitled to seek economic recovery for your damages.
