Red Cross helps six adults, two kids, after fire on Walnut Trail, Danbury

The American Red Cross is helping at least 34 people after three separate fires yesterday across Connecticut.

The Red Cross is helping:

  • 20 people after a fire on E Main Street, Meriden
  • Six adults, two children after a fire on Walnut Trail, Danbury
  • Four adults, two children after a fire on Carpenter Street, Hartford

In each instance, the Red Cross provided assistance to meet the families’ immediate needs.

The Red Cross also provided a recovery envelope containing information helpful to families recovering from a fire, including tips on cleanup; notification of important contacts; dealing with damaged items and more. The Red Cross is also providing comfort kits containing personal care items such as toothbrushes, deodorant; shaving supplies and other items a resident might need when suddenly displaced from their home by a fire.

Red Cross caseworkers will connect with those affected in the coming days to work on a longer-term recovery plan. The Red Cross is able to provide assistance through the generosity of our donors and the commitment of our volunteers.
