150-Year-Old Building Engulfed In Fire

A major fire last night at a historic building known as Kings Grant in lower Greenwich.

Greenwich Fire Chief Kevin Worden tells CHSJ news it took them over 10 hours to battle the blaze that started before 11 o'clock. He says the 150-year-old building on Dave's Corner was saved but might not be up for long, considering it still suffered major smoke and water damage. A kitchen and a tool shed attached to the building was destroyed but the fire doesn't look suspicious.

Worden says a family lives in the home, but only one man was in the home at the time of the fire. He managed to get out safely.
