The Somers community is rallying to support the Mitchell family, who recently faced a devastating fire that destroyed their home on Maple Street. According to Somers Human Services, the family lost nearly all of their belongings, retaining only the clothes they were wearing at the time of the incident. Donations are being collected through the Town Emergency Fund, with checks made out to 'Town Emergency Fund/Mitchell Family' and sent to 619 Main St., Somers. The fire, which was reported as a second-alarm structure fire early Thursday morning, prompted a response from several surrounding fire departments, including those from Hazardville, Shaker Pines, Enfield, West Stafford, Stafford, and Broad Brook. One family member was taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, and a firefighter was also evaluated but later released. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation. The donation effort is being promoted under the message 'Somers Community Strong,' encouraging residents to support the family during this challenging time.
