Fire Fund Established for Family of Five

A bank account has been established at Milford Federal Savings & Loan for a family of five burned out of their house on East Main Street in Milford Sunday.

Donations by check or in cash at the bank can be made to: O'Neill/Hayes Family Fire Fund.

The family includes three small girls, ages 2 to 7, who were at home at the time of the fire Sunday. All escaped safely, but the house is not habitable.

The Milford Fire Department has determined the fire was accidental and had its origin in an electrical outlet in a first-floor apartment.

Contributions and donations of toys and clothing also are being accepted at TD's Pub on behalf of the family.
