Largest fire in a decade, chief says
KILLINGTON— Just after midnight Saturday morning, March 7, firefighters from across the region were called to the scene of a major fire at 48 Innsbruck Lane, in Killington. It was the site of 12 of the 16 condos belonging to Killington Townhouses, just south of Peppino’s Restaurant on the lower portion of Killington Road. Multiple witnesses said they first noticed the fire at about 12:30 a.m. and soon thereafter the glow from the fire could be seen from Route 4.
All residents escaped safely prior to the fire engulfing the building.
“The building was largely made of wood construction, including the framing, and there were no fire breaks between the towers,” said Killington Fire Chief Gary Roth explaining that the fire spread quickly. “There was also no sprinkler system in the building,” he added, saying the building predated the requirement. The department strongly encourages sprinklers for all new construction, but the requirement is only mandated now for commercial structures, Roth explained.

The Killington Townhouses provided weekly timeshares to over 600 families, said property manager Louis Stevens, who was at the property Tuesday morning. Stevens confirmed that building A was in fairly good condition. “I got water back on in that building yesterday,” he said, adding that they plan to rebuild. Killington Townhouses president Paul Kaufman has not yet set a timeline, he said.
