New Haven, CT – Firefighter Injured in Three-Alarm Fire on Norton St

New Haven, CT (September 26, 2021) – Firefighters from the New Haven Fire Department were called to the scene of a structure fire on Sunday, September 26th in New Haven County. 

Crews responded to the scene in the 200 block of Norton Street at about 4:10 a.m. 

A second alarm was soon dispatched as crews discovered heavy flames coming from the rear of the home. A short while later, officials sent out a third alarm as the need for more manpower became obvious. The fire was under control by about 5:25 a.m.

Crews said that the home was a large single-family three-story structure. Two people were displaced by the fire.

One firefighter sustained injuries and was transported to Yale-New Haven Hospital for medical treatment.

The house was severely damaged. 

This incident is under investigation by the New Haven Fire Department.

Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family at this time. We hope for their full recovery.

Burn Injuries in New Haven

New Haven, CT - Firefighter Injured in Three-Alarm Fire on Norton St

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 When fires result in burn injuries at home, a landlord or contractor could be found negligent for having an outdated electrical system that goes on fire and injures a resident.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.
