The fire took place around 11:08 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 2, at 6 Sage Road, in the Lake Waubeeka area of Danbury, said James Gagliardo, communications director for the Danbury Fire Department.

Firefighters responded to the home fighting through 18 inches of snow with it still coming down and found heavy flames coming from rear windows, said Gagliardo.

A call for assistance to the West Redding and Ridgefield fire departments brought their tanker trucks to assist Danbury fire units on scene.

City EMS stood by to provide medical coverage to the two residents who were home at the time of the fire. Neither was injured.

The fire was put out within 40 minutes.

The Danbury Fire Marshal’s Office was requested to the scene and is investigating which is undetermined at this time.
