A Bristol woman was a fatality in a house fire on Pequabuck Street mid-morning on Thursday, according to reports on WFSB and the Hartford Courant. A dog also perished.

Bristol firefighters responded to a call from a neighbor who saw smoke and extinguished the fire within 20 minutes, according to the reports which cited Bristol Fire Chief Rick Hart. The call came in at around 9:15 a.m.

The development where the home was built was constructed in 2021. The house was condemned. The fire is being investigated by Bristol Fire Marshal.

The victim has not been identified.

All TBE readers, supporters and donors                

The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.                

• Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
• Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
• Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.                

Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
