NAUGATUCK — Firefighters are preparing to burn down two buildings.
The Naugatuck Fire Department is scheduled to conduct live burn training exercises on Sept. 26 and Sept. 27 at 42 Prospect St. and 46 Prospect St. The training was scheduled for this week but delayed due to the forecast of rain.
The training is scheduled to take place between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Second Assistant Chief John DeBisschop said. During the training, Prospect Street may be narrowed down to one lane with alternating traffic between Golden Court and Golden Hill Street, he said. The same may also occur on Golden Court between Prospect Street and North Main Street and on Golden Hill Street between Prospect Street and Acushnet Street, he said.
The buildings, one a two-family home and the other the former Vinny’s Restaurant and Pizzeria, are owned by brothers Vessel Nasufi and Remzi Nasufi. They are vacant.
Vessel Nasufi has received approval from borough land use boards to build a gas station and convenience store at 42-46 Prospect St. and 0 Golden Hill Road. He received a one-year extension for that plan in January. Vinny’s Restaurant and Pizzeria moved to South Main Street.
