According to fire officials, there were three people inside of the home at the time of the fire. Two of them escaped with minor injuries and were transported to a medical center for treatment. The third person was being evaluated for smoke inhalation.

The location of the home created challenges for fire crews because the road it is on is small and narrow. It was difficult to get a lot of fire trucks in the area, according to Westbrook Fire Marshal John Flaherty.
As crews were working to extinguish the fire, Flaherty said one firefighter from Old Saybrook fell through the roof of the home. The firefighter reportedly sustained scrapes in the fall, but did not suffer any serious injuries.
