A Stratford homeowner was taken to the hospital Friday afternoon after suffering smoke inhalation when fire broke out at a house on Luanne Road, according to the fire department.

Firefighters were first called to Bunnell High School on Bulldog Boulevard around 4:30 p.m. Friday. They were rerouted when neighbors of the home at 85 Luanne Road called to report heavy smoke pouring from the home, fire officials said.

One resident suffered smoke inhalation and was taken to Bridgeport Hospital for treatment. Firefighters said the homeowner’s injuries have been been deemed non-life threatening.

A total of 24 firefighters from Stratford, Bridgeport and Milford battled the blaze and took control of the fire within 25 minutes of arriving on scene, according to the fire department.
