A kitchen fire broke out in an apartment in West Haven, Connecticut early this morning, resulting in one person being treated for smoke exposure. The West Haven Fire Department stated that a smoke detector promptly alerted residents to evacuate the building at 79 Claudia Drive when the fire started in the kitchen area. Due to the time of day and the number of people in the apartment, a second alarm was called, but firefighters were able to quickly control the flames in the four-story building. Only one occupant required evaluation for smoke exposure. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of having working smoke detectors in homes to ensure the safety of residents in the event of a fire. The West Haven Fire Department praised the quick response of the residents in evacuating the building promptly, which helped to prevent any serious injuries or further damage.
