In particular we thank Mayor Maturo, the East Haven Police Department, Deputy Chief Manion, Fire Chief Jackson, the East Haven Fire Department and all firefighters who responded to the scene. These are true professionals of whom the citizens of East Haven can be proud.
We live on the West Coast but our hearts will be forever buried in the charred ground of 64 Charter Oak Avenue where four beautiful people lost their lives far too soon.
