Lawrence, MA 3rd Alarm
21-23 Brookfield St.
April 19th, 2019
Heavy fire showing on arrival by Engine 1 with a 2nd alarm recommended by Ladder 4 shortly after. 2nd and 3rd alarms requested by Deputy Loughlin with companies going right into a defensive attack to protect exposures. The fire building was the site of a previous fire the night of Sept 13th 2018 during the Merrimack Valley gas explosion & fire incident. The fire was contained to the building of origin which was completely destroyed and has since been torn down. Several exposures suffered cosmetic damage but were saved due in large part to the efforts of Lawrence firefighters and the mutual aid assistance. The cause of the fire was immediately determined to be suspicious as the building had no working utilities and there were reports of seeing several young adults running from the area just before the fire broke out. To my knowledge, nobody has been ID'd as a possible suspect at this time.
