A house fire in Middlefield displaced three people early Saturday morning, according to local fire officials.
An “alert neighbor” is credited with letting the residents of a Way Road home know their house caught fire shortly before 2 a.m., according to the Middlefield Volunteer Fire Company. The residents got out safely and six cats were rescued and brought to safety by the firefighters.
Firefighters were delayed in being able to safely extinguish the fire, as they had to wait for Eversource to secure the power to the home. The house was deemed “not livable” by fire officials.
