This letter carrier’s call to 911 helped avert a bigger home blaze

Letter Carrier Jeffrey Abbruzzese was recently delivering mail in Pawcatuck, CT, when he heard a nearby home’s fire alarm.

As he approached the residence, the Postal Service employee noticed smoke. No one appeared to be home.

He called 911.

Firefighters arrived and extinguished the blaze, which had started in the kitchen from a pot of food that had been left unattended on the stove.

After the customer returned home later that day and found out what happened from her neighbor, she contacted Abbruzzese to thank him.
