On Tuesday, January 28, 2014 at 01:27PM, Cheshire Fire Fighters were dispatched to the area of 140 Hickory Lane for a report of a house on fire.

Upon arrival, Cheshire Fire Fighters found fire burning along the exterior walls, deck and consuming adjacent areas of the interior of the residence.

Cheshire Fire Fighters were successful in extinguishing the bulk of the fire within a several minutes and remained on scene for the next few hours opening up walls and ceilings to extinguish any remaining pockets of fire.

Unfortunately, the residence sustained significant damage as a result of the fire. No one was home at the residence when the time of the fire occurred, but a family cat died due to smoke exposure. Fortunately, the family dog survived due to quick actions of an off-duty Fire Fighter prior to the arrival of the Cheshire Fire Department.

The fire is under investigation by the Cheshire Fire Marshal’s Office.
