May 14—NORWALK — A 7-year-old girl died from injuries suffered in a house fire early Saturday morning, according to the Norwalk (CT) Fire Department.
副消防局长史蒂夫·谢伊（Steve Shay）的一封电子邮件显示，消防人员于上午4:58回应了尼尔森大街的住所，并发现房屋“完全参与火灾”，马路对面有电线，院子的两辆车也在燃烧。
“A man and woman who had escaped the fire with their 9-year-old son were in the backyard, attempting to rescue their 7-year-old daughter, who was asleep in a second-floor bedroom,” Assistant Chief Edward McCabe said.
“The man had broken his arm and suffered burns when he fell while trying to climb to the window. Firefighters immediately raised a ladder to the window,” McCabe said. “One firefighter climbed inside the burning room, located the child, and passed her out the window to firefighters on the ladder, who carried her to the ground.”
Paramedics “immediately began care and transported the child and father to Norwalk Hospital,” McCabe said, but the child died of her injuries.
Other family members were treated at Norwalk Hospital for smoke inhalation, minor burns and injuries, McCabe said. The house is in a neighborhood near central Norwalk.
“The fire escalated to three alarms, with all Norwalk fire companies working on scene and mutual aid station coverage provided by Stamford, New Canaan, Westport, and Rowayton fire departments. One Norwalk firefighter suffered burns to his face and was treated on the scene,” said McCabe.
他说，大火的原因正在接受部门的消防司令和州警察的调查。
In a statement, state Sen. Bob Duff, D-Norwalk, offered his condolences and promised the community will support the family in the wake of the deadly fire.
“My heart goes out to the Norwalk family dealing with this unimaginable tragedy,” Duff said on Twitter. “Our community will come together as they grieve, and we will support them in whatever they need. Thank you to the Norwalk Fire Department for your bravery.”
