Four adults and four children were forced from their homes Thursday evening when fire spread through their building on Mead Street in New Haven, according to the fire department.
Acting Deputy Fire Chief Ben Vargas said flames broke out in the kitchen of a first-floor apartment and spread to the three other units in the house. All four sustained damage and utilities have been shut off.
The single-alarm fire was reported around 4:45 p.m. and is now under control. No one was hurt, but four adults and four children living in the building will have to find another place to sleep tonight, according to Vargas.
Crews are investigating to determine the cause of the fire.
