May 2, 2016 Stephen Krauchick

Last night, I was about to upload a video of a fire that spread to two homes in Bridgeport.  The fire was discovered by Bridgeport Police on routine patrol.  The police called in the fire to dispatch and then evacuated the sleeping residents in the two multi-family homes.  Heroic, but if you ask the officers they would just say it's part of the job.   Ironically, as I was about to upload this video, I discovered a notice from YouTube that said I had violated their guidelines in my video of the 2014 Bridgeport Police Awards and Promotions.  The notice said  It was "...flagged for review.

May 2, 2016 Stephen Krauchick

1:55am--#Bridgeport Connecticut--Tonight's second car fire was at the intersection of Cottage and Norman Street.  Witnesses told me the car was intentionally set.  The fire destroyed a garage between two multi-family homes as the residents slept.  Police on patrol called it in from their radios to the fire department  and got the residents out of the home prior to their arrival.  There were no reported injuries when I left the scene but I know it would have been a different story if it weren't for the police's efforts.  Firefighters quickly got the inferno under control and make sure the fire did not extend into the homes.
