Assistance Being Collected For Victims of Fatal Fire
Enfield
By Linda Tishler Levinson
ENFIELD – The town is working to help the families of those killed in a Dec. 10 fire on South River Street. The town Social Services Department will be helping to coordinate relief efforts for the families of the fire victims. They are initially working to provide for their immediate shelter, relocation and basic needs. Donations are being sought to provide this support until new permanent housing is found. Financial contributions can be made to the “Enfield Food Shelf” and mailed to Social Services at 100 High St., Enfield, CT 06082, noting “Fire Relief Fund” on the check. As the families recover, the town is trying to help them find a new home. Local landlords or anyone who knows of available apartments is asked to call 860-253-6398. Once permanent housing is found, the town will be collecting items such as
household goods and furniture. The fire was reported at about 6:15 a.m. Dec. 10. Firefighters from the Thompsonville Fire Department responded to the report of a house fire at 68 South River St., according to State Police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance. Firefighters found heavy smoke and fire coming from the front of the duplex on the first and second floors. Vance said fire officials reported that conditions within the residence quickly deteriorated, causing the second floor to collapse onto the first floor. At that time firefighters were forced to exit the building. Four people were killed in the fire. According to William J. Provencher, assistant chief of the Thompsonville Fire Department, they included Orise Handfield, 59, and Cathy Armes, 36. According to published reports, also killed were 20-year-old Joshua Johnson and 19-year-old David Cygan.
