Two fatal fires in Connecticut this week involved persons who either went back into the fire building or stayed in the fire building to help family members.
A woman was killed in a fire at 26-28 Putnam Heights, Hartford, on Wednesday night (16 February) went she went back into the building (possibly to rescue pets); and a man died in a fire at 199 Grandview Avenue, Hamden, early Thursday morning (17 February) as he attempted to evacuate family members.
