Stamford, CT – At 7:19 pm on Sunday 3/10, the Stamford 911 center received multiple calls reporting a house fire at 26 Taff Avenue.

Engine 3 from the Stamford Fire Department’s West Side firehouse were first to arrive and found fire venting from the top floor rear of a three story multi-family house.

A hose line was stretched up the interior staircase, quickly containing the fire, and prevented extension into the top floor apartment.

The fire was placed under control at 7:55 pm.

There were no injuries to any residents or firefighters.  A pet hamster was safely rescued by firefighters.

Approximately 24 residents were displaced by the fire due to water damage and were provided hotel rooms by the landlord.
