1:26am–#Bridgeport CT–  Just before 1:30 Sunday morning fire broke out at 335 Seltsam Road. A sea of flames could be seen from Route 8/25 connector when firefighters first arrived. The homeowner told me he and his family were sound asleep when he heard the smoke detectors going off. Neighbors told me that they pulled an elderly woman out of the back of the house, they said she was badly burned. Radio reports said a second resident was burned in the fire. There are two dogs in the home which could not be found at this time.  The fire was so bad that firefighters initially used an exterior attack until they had the fire under control about an hour later.  This report is accurate as of 4:00am.
