Firefighters battle heat in Fairfield house blaze causing ‘substantial damage’

Fairfield firefighters are continuing an investigation of a structure fire on Sunday afternoon that required assistance from three other fire departments.

Fire Captain Jim Howell said firefighters responded to a fire at 18 Peachtree Court about 12:38 p.m. that appears to have started close to an outdoor deck, went up an outside wall into the attic and burned the roof. The cause of the blaze has not been determined but was not suspicious.
