Arrest made on Fairfield Hazmat Case
On Tuesday, October 1st, 2013 at 4:20 pm, Fairfield Police and Fire Department personnel responded to 1625 Bronson Road, a private residence for a report of a burglary and possible hazardous materials at that location.
Personnel secured the scene and requested the assistance from Federal, State and local agencies. It was determined by Connecticut State Police and CT D.E.E.P that explosive and flammable materials found in the home needed to be removed for public safety.
On Monday, October 07, 2013 the resident Joseph Callahan DOB 11/15/43 of 1625 Bronson Road Fairfield, CT 06824 was arrested at Fairfield Police Department. Callahan was charged with (11) counts of Illegal Possession of Explosives, (1) count of Manufacturing Bombs and (6) counts of Reckless Endangerment 1st degree. A conditional promise to appear in court was issued in lieu of bond. The terms of his release are to cooperate with authorities to remediate his property. Callahan’s court date is October 16th, 2013.
Fire officials report Mr. Callahan is fully cooperating with the investigation and remediation by offering to do whatever is necessary to quickly and safely mitigate this situation including authorizing the removal and disposal of any chemicals that the Fire Marshal’s office and the CT D.E.E.P deem hazardous.
Police and Fire officials and HazMat technicians will remain on scene to confirm compliance with all court orders.
Tree crash, power out
3:46pm–#Bridgeport CT–A tree gave way to the heavy winds today crashing onto a welding truck, taking out three utility poles on Sherwood Avenue. Power is out in the lower Wood Avenue area near the fire station. Firefighters were on scene at the time conducting inspection when the crashed occurred. The owner of the welding truck just told the firefighters that maybe he should move his truck when it occurred. The call came in first as motor vehicle accident with entrapment, then children trapped under the tree so firefighters ran from the fire station around the block to the scene. There was never any entrapment of anyone and firefighter blocked the road, called in the tree warden, public works and United Illuminating to the scene. From the looks of things power will be out for quite sometime with three utility poles down and wires ripped from the side of houses.
