MILFORD, Conn. — Fire crews put out a blaze on the roof of a home on Easy Street Monday afternoon, officials say.
In a post on Facebook, the Milford Fire Department said firefighters were sent to Easy Street at 12:28 p.m., where arriving companies found solar panels on the front side of a single-family house were on fire.
“Companies quickly disconnected all electrical services to the panels,” the department said. “Knowing there could still be power to the panels, crews exercised extreme caution in extinguishing the fire.”
Officials said the house and attic were checked for extension, but crews stopped the fire before it could spread into the house. They said no injuries were reported.
