That was the case for some Brookfield CVS shoppers on Sunday (10/29/23). According to a press release from the Brookfield PD, fire crews were dispatched to the Brookfield CVS at 14 Candlewood Lake Road at around 11 am. The crews were responding to reports of an active fire inside the building. Authorities say by the time they arrived, an employee had extinguished the blaze but it was apparent the fire was set intentionally.

Here is some of the Brookfield PD press release which was issued on October, 29, 2023:

"First arriving police and fire units located a display case that had been on fire, but it was extinguished by the on-duty CVS store manager, after ensuring all employees and patrons were out of the building.

Brookfield Police assisted by the Brookfield Fire Marshal's Office began their on-scene investigation and quickly determined that the fire had been intentionally started. CVS, which was open for business and occupied at the time of the fire, suffered minor property damage and the odor of smoke throughout. CVS remained closed for the remainder of the day."

The presser goes on to state that investigators tracked down and arrested a juvenile suspect who was later released to the custody of their parents. The unnamed suspect faces the following charges:

53a-111 - Arson 1st degree
53a-116 - Criminal Mischief 2nd degree
53a-64 - Reckless Endangerment 2nd degree

The pharmacy experience is way more stimulating than it should be these days. This Brookfield pharmacy had a full-on arson situation and that is almost tame compared to the daily occurrences at mine.

The pharmacy I go to in Danbury is bananas!! There are daily aggressive disputes in the parking lot, loitering weirdos in the parking lot and the kind of lines you might see at Disney World. I had to stop at the pharmacy Friday night and I really wish I did not have to because it was a battle getting in and out of there.

Danbury’s Historic Little Red Chapel is Deliciously Out of Place for 2022

Given Danbury’s location, and its vitality during the American Revolution, there are historic structures, places and markings wherever you go. Sometimes these places can get overlooked, part of a landscape we pass on the way to the store, or to work. The Little Red Chapel is one of those places that locals are lucky enough to see, as often as they’d like. But It’s become a place, we now take for granted. In its day, it’s size may have been the only thing that made it standout but in 2022, it’s deliciously out-of-place.
