2nd Alarm Stoughton Ma. 63 Ethyl Way 06/27/09
On Saturday afternoon around 4:30pm a severe thunderstorm hit the Norfolk County area pretty hard with numerous lighting strikes in Foxboro and Walpole. When I heard about the storm, I grabbed my rain gear and starting driving south on Route 128 into the storm. When I got down to Route 138 I got off due to the conditions and seconds after pulling over, I heard Stoughton Fire say smoke showing and for the rest, well, just take a look.
Fire was at 63 Ethyl Way. The fire was in a large 2.5 story brick & wood condo structures (4 units to building). A 2nd Alarm was struck by C-5 a few minutes before I arrived. Upon my arrival with heavy smoke followed by fire, companies were heavily into operation with opening up and using foam. It took firefighters about 1 hour to bring the fire under control. Firefighters were able to keep extension from the rest of the attic and also saved a 13 year old male cat. Nice job JT and the rest of Canton Engine-6 crew!
The fire is believed to have started from a lighting strike to the attic area. Mutual Aid from Avon, Brockton, Canton and Sharon assisted at the scene. There was no reported injuires.
