2 Suspicious Fires Break Out In Hyannis On The Same Day

HYANNIS, MA — Two fires that broke out within an hour of each other Sunday in Hyannis were deemed suspicious and are under the investigation of state and local fire officials.

The first fire happened around 11 p.m. Fire officials said they found a car engulfed in flames parked in a driveway of a home on Fresh Holes Road.

Officials said the fire was extinguished quickly, and no injuries were reported. But just 40 minutes later, the department received another call about a fire at a home under construction on Hiramar Road. This fire was just a block away from the first one.

Fire officials said the flames were mostly on the first floor of the two-story single family home. No injuries were reported, as no one was living in the house. Officials estimated the home sustained about $50,000 worth of damage.

State Police assigned to the state fire marshal's officer are working to determine the cause of the fires.
