Fire Destroys Colchester Home, Only Chimney Left Standing

A home in Colchester is destroyed after an overnight fire on Sunday.

Just before midnight, firefighters were called to a reported structure fire on School Road. The fire was described as a "large glow in the sky" according to firefighters.

When crews arrived, they said they found a fully involved structure that was collapsing on itself with an actively venting propane tank.

Firefighters from Colchester, Yantic, Marlborough, Gardner Lake, Hebron, Bozrah and East Hampton helped fight the flames.

Investigators are working to determine what may have started the fire.
