Firefighters from at least six departments responded to a two-alarm fire on Jackson Hill Road in Middlefield on Tuesday, and the Red Cross is helping a family of two adults and three children after the blaze.
Crews from the Middlefield Volunteer Company, Durham Volunteer Fire Company, Westfield Fire Department, South Fire District Firefighters, Middletown, and Meriden provided mutual aid.
Damage to the home is unclear, but a spokesperson for the Red Cross said a family of five is receiving emergency food and clothing supplies.
