The owner of a bridal salon in Westport says damage from a
fire that broke out Saturday morning has left her with a lot of work on her
hands.
Crews arrived at
Plumed Serpent Bridal on Post Road East
and were quickly able to quench the fire. But smoke from the incident left the
store and its contents of dresses a mess.
Owner Alison Luciano told News 12 that sample dresses used
by customers are ruined, but ordered gowns were protected and should be OK.
“It was heartbreaking. It was the prettiest store ever, and
to walk in and see it black with all of our dresses looking like this – it was
awful,” she said.
Investigators determined that the fire was an accident but
did not pinpoint its cause. Luciano says she is looking for a temporary
location for her store.
