One person is dead following a fire at a mobile home park in Branford where another fatal fire occurred last month.
Emergency crews responded to a residence at 155 North Ivy St., Unit 49 on Monday just after 2 p.m. on the report of smoke coming from the home, according to the Branford Fire Department.
Firefighters found a working fire when they arrived and launched an aggressive interior attack, fire officials said. They put out the blaze and searched the residence, finding a dead individual. The victim’s name is being withheld while officials make next-of-kin notifications.
The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Branford Fire Marshal, Branford Police Department and the Connecticut State Police Fire and Explosion Investigation Unit.
Fire officials noted that a fatal fire occurred at the same residential complex on Dec. 26. No evidence suggesting a connection between the two fires has been found, officials said.
