John Pokorny, Weston\u2019s fire marshal and fire chief, said that the fire was so intense that it initially pushed back firefighters responding to the blaze, according to CT Insider<\/a>.<\/p>\n

About 20 members of a family group were in the mansion when the fire broke out. No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n

\nHowever, the home assessed at $2.8 million was wrecked. The Daily Voice put the value of the mansion at $4 million.<\/p>\n

When firefighters arrived, \u201cthe garage end of the house was completely in flame,\u201d Pokorny said.<\/p>\n

The fire then swept through the house until it was engulfed<\/a> in flames.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt accelerated really rapidly,\u201d Pokorny said.<\/p>\n

Crews were at the scene Friday as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou get pieces of debris and it\u2019s burning underneath and the water from the top just doesn\u2019t get to it,\u201d Pokorny said.<\/p>\n

Pokorny noted that the holidays are times when fire<\/a> is often a part of celebrations, and urged caution.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re using any fireplaces, burning any fire, or using candles,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou just have to be really careful because it can all go bad really quickly,\u201d he said, according to News12<\/a>.<\/p>\n
