State to Probe Newtown Blaze In Bridgeport Context
Police said a family member contacted someone at the hospital regarding the Newtown cottage fire. The Brecklins lost custody of children after a 1956 conviction for injury to a child. Rose Ann Baltovich, now at a home in Newington, was tied to the case as the former step-daughter. Neighbors reported a traffic jam as state police kept order near the Lake Noar site behind Route 6. The four room frame cottage, elevated on stone blocks, was nearly destroyed with only a few boards remaining. Fire officials said Mrs. Brecklin likely woke first and, with her husband, tried to reach the children before flames cut off entry. The blaze scorched nearby homes, melted bathtub porcelain, and burned trees while the family dog Boy escaped outside and was cared for by neighbors. The hose was insured for $1.
