Falmouth Firefighters Tackle Home Blaze

FALMOUTH, MA — Firefighters responded Tuesday evening to a “heavy” blaze at a home in East Falmouth.

No one was injured, but the resident at 68 Deepwood Drive was displaced, according to a statement Wednesday.

Crews from Falmouth and Joint Base Cape Cod arrived at the scene around 7:10 p.m. After searching for occupants of the house and attacking the fire, the responders determined it had spread to the attic. They then had to open the roof and evacuate the building.

“Defensive” operations continued until the fire was under control at 8:15 p.m, the statement said.

Crews from neighboring communities helped provide townwide fire and rescue coverage during the incident.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Massachusetts State Police and the state fire marshal’s office.
