A dog tragically lost its life in a house fire in Hebron on Saturday, while multiple other pets were rescued. The fire ignited around 10:10 p.m. at a home on Walnut Road, prompting a neighbor to alert emergency services.
Firefighters arrived quickly to find no people inside the residence, but they discovered the deceased dog during their search. Fortunately, four cats were saved from the blaze.
Fire departments from Andover, Marlborough, Bolton, Columbia, Manchester, and Glastonbury assisted with the response, along with the Connecticut State Police and Windham Hospital Paramedics. The fire was brought under control shortly after 11:15 p.m. The cause is currently under investigation by the Hebron Fire Marshal’s Office.
