Electrical hazards displace 13 people, impact 2 businesses

BRIDGEPORT — 10 adults and three children had to leave their homes after officials determined a building at 1076 East Main Street had numerous electrical hazards, according to Lance Edwards, deputy chief of the Bridgeport Fire Department.

The hazards have also impacted two businesses, including Natural Juices M&G, Edwards said.

Officials discovered the electrical problems when they responded to reports of sparking wires Friday evening, the deputy fire chief said.

“The building will remain vacant until the proper permits are pulled and the electrical work is inspected,” Edwards wrote in an email.

In the meantime, the Red Cross is providing lodging to the 13 displaced individuals, according to Edwards.
