Fire on Janet Road Monday

A Janet Drive resident saw a fire burning inside his neighbor's kitchen window Monday morning and prevented what could have been a much more damaging result.

"We're lucky he saw it when he did," said Easton Fire Captain James Walsh. "He saw it in the beginning stages."

The neighbor contacted the at 10:30 a.m., sending four fire engines to the condominium complex off of Washington Street just south of Depot Street.

The homeowners were not home at the time, but left a candle burning. While the fire was contained to the kitchen, there was significant smoke damage throughout the room. Crews on the scene checked for extension in the home and ventilated the first and second floor.

Crews sent about an hour on the scene. West Bridgewater was called for station coverage but was cancelled en route.
