Westport firefighters were dispatched at 12:21 PM Friday to a report of a brush fire on I-95 southbound between Exits 19 and 18. The initial assignment included Engine 5, Engine 2, and Car 3. Upon arrival, Engine 5 found an active brush fire alongside the highway. Car 3 reported that the fire was rapidly spreading due to terrain and wind conditions, prompting a request for additional resources. Engine 4 was called to access the fire from Sasco Creek Road, while Fairfield Fire Department responded with one engine and Rescue 1 to I-95, as well as an engine and Car 3 to assist Engine 4 on Sasco Creek Road.
On the highway side, Engine 2 and Engine 5 deployed two handlines, using tank water from all three engines until a positive water supply was established. From Sasco Creek Road, Engine 4 deployed a third handline, and Fairfield Engine 4 laid more than 1,000 feet of supply hose to provide water for both operations. Access was hampered by rough terrain, thick brush, and a burning ground-level power line. Fairfield Engine 1 then put its ladder pipe into operation, extinguishing remaining hotspots with help from a Westport Police drone.
The fire was successfully contained with assistance from Westport EMS, Connecticut State Police, and the Connecticut Department of Transportation. Two lanes of I-95 southbound were closed during the incident, along with portions of two local roads. The final units cleared the scene at 3:04 PM.

Fairfield, CT – State Senator Tony Hwang, representing Fairfield, joined Fairfield National Little League President Diego De Leon in rallying the community ahead of the team’s championship game.
De Leon praised the remarkable community support, noting that it starts right here in town and has been “nothing short of magnificent.” The excitement is being felt across Fairfield and on social media as the team prepares to face Smithtown, Long Island, in a winner-take-all championship matchup.
Fairfield previously lost to Smithtown on Monday but came back strong, defeating New Jersey in a must-win game Wednesday night to earn a rematch. “Anything can happen in a one-game playoff,” De Leon said. “The work these boys have put in is the real difference-maker, and it shows in their exceptional defense. Our center fielder’s incredible catch even made ESPN’s SportsCenter Top Plays. This group has such a close-knit bond—please come out and support them.”
Both Hwang and De Leon emphasized that this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the players, one they’ll remember for decades. Fans are encouraged to attend the championship game at the Agamani Learning Center on Mix Avenue in Bristol, just past ESPN. Parking may be limited, so early arrival is recommended.
“Win or lose, these boys and our community are champions,” said Senator Hwang. “When you come and support these kids and feel that energy, it’ll be a huge factor for Fairfield—and for Connecticut. Let’s go Fairfield! Let’s go Connecticut!”
Report of a brush fire on I-95 around exit 19. Firefighters from both Westport and Fairfield are currently battling the fire, with 2 lines in operation, and there are downed power lines.
At this current moment the traffic cameras are unfortunately down, so feel free to send in pics of the fire if you have them. in the comments below!
