1 Treated for Smoke Inhalation After Stratford Condo Fire

One person was treated for smoke inhalation after fire broke out at a condo complex in Stratford on Friday.

Fire officials said a resident called 911 around 9 a.m. to report smoke coming from a unit in the Oronoque Condo Complex at 144 Balbone Lane.

The residents made it out safely and none of the 24 responding firefighters was hurt, but the fire department said one person was taken to Bridgeport Hospital for an evaluation after suffering smoke inhalation.

Firefighters said the whole building sustained heavy smoke and heat damage but the fire was contained to the room in Unit A where it broke out.

The neighboring resident was allowed to return home but Unit A is uninhabitable, according to the fire department.

Firefighters have not released the cause of the fire but said it is not considered suspicious.
