NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A New Haven apartment building fire on Saturday evening has displaced over 35 people.
New Haven fire officials said crews responded at 5:33 p.m. for smoke in the building at 370 Mansfield. Crews found smoke coming from the rear of the building and began an aggressive search and attack on a fire in the kitchen of one of the apartments.
The fire began to extend out the window and into the floor above. A second alarm was called.
The fire was brought under control at 6:22 p.m. One person was rescued via a ladder from the building and another occupant was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital for smoke inhalation. They are in non-critical condition.
