A quote from the Hamden Police Department Facebook page
?Bravo!!! To Hamden Police Sgt. Jason Venditto. While traveling home from an extra duty assignment, Sgt. Venditto heard a 911 call come in for a house fire, near his location. He was the first to arrive and found the house actively burning. He ran to the house to check for occupants. He found an elderly women still inside the home. He helped her escape without either being seriously injury. We at the Hamden PD could not be prouder of his actions. Our hearts go out to the family who lost their home. It?s devastating and incredibly emotional to lose your home to fire. We wish the family the best, as they move through this difficult time.
It?s also a great reminder, as we move into fall, change the batteries in your smoke detectors. It could save your life, or the lives of someone you love.?
