Lawrence, MA 3rd Alarm - 157 Lawrence St - 8/11/17
Lawrence firefighters had their hands full with this fire in a taxpayer located at 157 Lawrence St in the early morning hours of Friday August 11, 2017.
The fire, believed to have started on the first floor, extended up thru the walls of the 2.5 storybusiness with apartments above. Due to the asbestos siding, the fire was trapped, burning heavily thru the walls of the classic balloon frame building. Fire crews worked hard to open up walls and ceilings to get access to where the fire was burning in order to knock it down.
All told, 3 alarms plus an additional ladder truck from Salem NH worked the fire with help from surrounding communities both at the scene and covering the Central Firehouse.
