Furthermore, that he has been a member of said Department for approximately sixteen years prior to the date hereof, and at all times mentioned herein was acting as a member of said Department and also the following facts and circumstances are stated from personal knowledge and observation, as well as information received from brother Officers, acting in their official capacities. 2. On November 14, 2016, at approximately 0717 hours, the Meriden Fire Department (MFD) responded to a house fire at a single family home at 13 Davis Street. Responding firefighters reported that upon arrival, neighbors alerted them that there was likely a mother and child inside the home. 3. MFD used forced entry to gain access to the locked home, and reported heavy smoke with nearly zero visibility within. Upon entry MFD located two potential victims in a child's bedroom located on the first floor of the residence. A female later identified as Karin Ziolkowski was located on the bed near the body of an unresponsive male child. The child was subsequently identified as the eight year old son of Karin Ziolkowski and will be hereafter referred to as the Victim. MFD personnel tried to resuscitate the Victim on scene, but were unsuccessful. 4. Karin Ziolkowski was transported to Hartford Hospital, where she was treated for smoke inhalation, and an "altered mental status".
