Thursday night at about 7:00 pm a fire broke out at Cook Close in Casagmo. EMS from Danbury, Georgetown, and Wilton aided Ridgefield Fire Department in their fire and rescue efforts. Three people were injured as a result of the fire, two of them critically. Mother and son, Sandy and Joe Reyes sustained severe burns.
We are sad to report that Sandy, who experienced complications due to smoke inhalation, passed away at Bridgeport Hospital on Saturday afternoon. Her son Joe remains in the hospital and has been upgraded from critical to stable condition.
Friends of the Reyes family have created a "Go Fund Me" page in an effort to help the Reyes recover some of their losses, which include personal property and medical expenses. The following is an excerpt from the Go Fund Me page. Please visit the page to learn more and to donate.
We want to let you all know with great sadness and heavy hearts that Sandy Reyes is now in the loving arms of the Lord. She passed peacefully with her entire family by her side on Saturday. Sandy was one of a kind and will be missed dearly.
Her son Joseph is still at Bridgeport Hospital in the burn unit. He will soon undergo the first of many treatments to come.
The Reyes Family has not only suffered personal loss from this tragedy but are now faced with medical bills and funeral expenses as well.
Your donations will help tremendously and are much appreciated during this most difficult time. Please keep the Reyes family in your prayers and close to your hearts.
