Fish Tank Fire Damages Westminster Home

The fire was confined to the basement.


There were no injuries from a small house fire in Westminster on Thursday morning.

The State Fire Marshal’s Office says an occupant was alerted by a smoke alarm to a fire at 106 Bond Street,  and discovered a small fire in the basement.

Ten fire fighters responded and contained the fire to a fish tank. It took them five-minutes to control the flames.

Damage is estimated at $1,500 to the structure, and $500 to the contents.

The cause was an electrical failure in a fish tank.
