An investigation is underway after a fire destroyed parts of a multi-family home in Enfield Sunday night. It happened on Maple Avenue.
Neighbors told Channel 3 that they believe fireworks started the blaze. They said they noticed the fire appear in the back corner of the home and that charred fireworks were visible at the scene.
Crews arrived to find flames billowing from the roof of the structure. Several departments were involved, including Bradley International Airport firefighters, according to a Connecticut state firefighters union.
They worked to extinguish the fire as flames and smoke filled the air. David Carmona, who lives across the street, said he was inside his home when he began hearing fireworks before the fire broke out.
“They were shooting off fireworks in the street and we’re not talking little firecrackers. We’re talking canons,” Carmona said.
Fire crews from several towns, including Bradley International Airport firefighters, according to a Connecticut state firefighters union, responded to and battled flames that spread to the roof of the structure.
