GREENWICH, CT — It's been a busy holiday week for Greenwich firefighters. On Wednesday night, fire crews responded to Glenville on a report of a fire in the attic of a two-story, single family home. Companies were able to work quickly to ventilate the roof from above, and firefighters were able to access the fire in the attic through the ceiling of the second floor, according to a Facebook post from the GFD. The fire was controlled with three hand lines, the GFD said. Fire damage was contained to the attic/roof of the home; no injuries were reported. The fire is under investigation by the GFD's Fire Marshal Division. "Our thoughts and condolences are with the family on this Thanksgiving holiday for their loss.," the GFD said in the Facebook post. Late in the afternoon on Thanksgiving, the GFD and other volunteer crews were called to a fire in a two story home in the Round Hill area of Greenwich. The fire began in the attic/roof area, and crews "made an aggressive attack on the fire and confined it to the roof area," the GFD said on Facebook. No injuries were reported; the fire is also under investigation by the Fire Marshal Division. "Our thoughts go out to the residents of this home on Thanksgiving," the GFD said.
