ANSONIA  — Firefighters responded to a small fire under a porch at a wood-frame house at 182 N. State St. late Thursday afternoon.
Fire Marshal Ralph Tingley said a preliminary investigation pointed to “discarded smoking materials” as the cause of the blaze.
"We don't know the owner," he said. The house reportedly is in foreclosure.
