Embers from a wooden stove that were left in a metal can by the garage sparked a two-alarm fire that displaced two Danbury residents on Friday morning, officials said.
Firefighters responded to a fire at 70 Forty Acre Mountain Road, a single-family ranch, around 10 a.m. and the fire went to a second alarm.
Crews found heavy fire when they arrived and had to use tanker trunks because there were no hydrants in the area.
The wind made it a difficult fire to fight and it took two hours to get under control, officials said.
No injuries were reported.
The road reopened around 2 p.m.
