GLASTONBURY, Conn. — The American Red Cross is helping two Glastonbury women find another place to stay after their home was severely damaged in an early morning house fire.
The fire started just before 6 o’clock this morning at a two family home on Harris Street.
By the time crews arrived at least half of that home was fully involved.
Emergency crews had no idea what kind of situation they were showing up to, because the 911 call was rather abrupt.
“At 5:51 this morning our dispatchers received a 911 call where basically the caller said oh my God and hung up the phone. We really didn’t know what we had till the first arriving officer got on scene and reported a structure fire,” Chief Michael Thurz, Glastonbury Fire Dept.
The chief reminding everyone, if you make a 911 calls to stay on the phone with dispatch so they can get you help as quickly as possible.
A firefighter sustained a minor burn, and was treated on scene.
The cause of this fire still under investigation.
