Authorities are investigating a fire that broke out at a summer camp started by the late actor Paul Newman for seriously ill children and their families.
Connecticut state troopers and the Fire & Explosion Investigation Unit (FEIU) responded Friday afternoon to a report of a structure fire at the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Ashford, Connecticut, according to Connecticut State Trooper Josue J. Dorelus.
Police did not provide information on how large an area was affected, but Camp CEO James Canton said the blaze destroyed the arts and crafts, wood shop, cooking zone and camp store buildings.
