NORWALK, Conn. – A 50-year-old Norwalk woman required treatment for minor smoke inhalation at Norwalk Hospital early Tuesday following a fire in her Nash Place home, Norwalk fire officials said.
The first floor fire was contained to the floor in front of a wood burning stove located just off the living room, according to Deputy Fire Chief Edward Prescott, but the cause of the blaze is still being investigated. The fire was reported at about 1:40 a.m., and firefighters saw smoke billowing through a window upon arrival.
Firefighters quickly put out the fire but had to cut into the floor “to ensure the fire was completely extinguished,” said Prescott in a statement.
Twenty-four firefighters were involved in the call, and members of the Westport Fire Department assisted Norwalk by temporarily covering the city’s Westport Avenue fire station.

NORWALK, Conn. – A fire burned through the first floor living room of half of a Glasser Street duplex Monday afternoon, which required about 20 Norwalk firefighters to extinguish.
Twenty-four firefighters were involved in the other call
Where East Norwalk has now a new buildings along with the new assisted living facility the missing four men from the first call were from East Norwalk out on the new fire boat as it was suggested (could be wrong) could spell trouble if the station isn't manned or even in the distric for that rapid response where seconds not minutes are important.
The city needs to be assured response for those who need it the most can be done with or without the new fire boat.
The city also needs to make certain that ambulances are available asap for vicims of fires as well suggesting again we may need more ambulances with this last call and with a new fire station there must be room for one.

You still have to wonder when the call comes and Norwalks new fire boat is expected to go to Bridgeport or Stamford who pays for the 4 firemen?This fire boat came with a very large string as big as a tow rope.
New fire station 2 new boats new trucks one would think Norwalk is all set in fighing fires and won't need anything for a while.
That new water truck Norwalk has was probably the best investment the city made for those who have no water source in some areas.Its been said many times the new fire station isn't going to make response any better faster etc.
The new water truck is a trick statement.
Norwalk owning its own fire station in East Norwalk would probably be a great investement the old one has served its purpose and needs some serious work and maybe even more on duty men to meet the growth East Norwalk alone has seen.
No doubt our firefighters work as hard as everyone else protecting Norwalk they have our respect and thanks.
The two fires tells us something else
