Few details on the fire were available as of press time, but Middletown Fire Marshal Jim McGuire said the blaze damaged a person’s property.

Authorities responded to a house on Quaker Hill Road around 3 a.m. Sunday for the fire, according to police. No serious injuries were reported as a result of the apparent arson.
