BURNING BRANCH: A report of a tree branch on fire brought Noroton Heights Fire to the intersection of Edgerton St. and West Ave around 9:06 a.m. Firefighters were unable to locate the branch, however, likely because it fell to the ground or ceased to be in contact with the power line that had sparked the blaze, a fire official said.

SMOKING BIG RIG At 9:21 a.m., Noroton Heights Fire and the Darien Fire Department responded to the scene of a smoking tractor trailer on Interstate 95 between exits 9 and 10. A fire official said that while a 911 caller had believed the vehicle to be on fire, the cause was determined to be an oil leak.
