North Reading, MA Working Fire - 3 Hanson Rd - 3/23/14
North Reading firefighters responded late this afternoon to a report of a house fire at 3 Hanson Rd in the extreme northern part of town near Martin's Pond.
Firefighters arrived to find a 1 1/2 story house well involved on the exterior of the home and a working fire assignment was requested. The quick work of firefighters, the heavy volume of fire was knocked down within 15 minutes of arrival. NRFD personnel, along with manpower from a Wilmington engine company remained on scene to overhaul the area around the front porch and put out hot spots.
The fire is currently under investigation and as of the time I left, an exact cause had yet to be determined.
I took in the fire from home and it was reported knocked down just prior to my arrival on scene. So my shots here will just be mop up shots. GREAT job all around by the guys at NRFD. This was their second working fire in just a matter of hours.
