CLINTON, Connecticut — Clinton police have arrested a man on arson charges after a residential treatment facility suffered heavy damage following a fire this morning.
Brandon Wyzykowski, 27, who lived in the home, was charged with Arson in the First Degree, Reckless Endangerment in the First Degree and Criminal Mischief in the First Degree.
Fire crews were called to the structure on High Street around 12:45 a.m. When they arrived, firefighters saw heavy fire on the first and second floors of the home.
Mutual aid was requested from Madison Hose Company, Killingworth Volunteer Fire Department, Guilford Fire Department, and Old Saybrook Volunteer Fire Department.

Two occupants managed to escape the home at the time but weren't sure if anyone else was inside. Fire officials said all were accounted for and no injuries reported.
The fire was brought under control within 25 minutes but the home sustained heavy damage with a partial roof collapse.
Fire officials officially gave the all-clear just after 5 a.m. following a check for hot spots.
The state fire marshal is on scene assisting the investigation into what sparked the fire.
