DERBY – Fire Marshal Phil Hawks said the blaze on Olivia Street Thursday afternoon was caused by a  cigarette discarded on the porch of a third-floor dwelling.

He said winds Thursday “fanned the flames” causing the fire to quickly spread.  Hawks said the fire was contained to the third floor and an attic space above it.

Hawks didn’t have a dolllar amount of damage, but said all of the apartments in the six-family dwelling are uninhabitable at this time and it could be quite a while before they can be reoccupied, due to the amount of smoke and water damage.

However, he said, tenants will be able to go into the building to get their personal belongings. Seventeen people were displaced by the blaze.

He also said there were working smoke alarm detectors in the building.
