No Injuries In 2 Recent Falmouth Fires: What To Know

FALMOUTH, MA — The Falmouth Fire Department put out two local fires last week, officials said.

No injuries were reported in either, and neither were deemed suspicious, officials said.

Here's what to know:

Jan. 9

A reported electrical fire occurred at 360 Main St. in Falmouth just after 10:30 p.m.

Firefighters successfully extinguished a small fire in the basement, though smoke and heat conditions were discovered on the first floor, leading to further investigation and fire suppression, officials said.

No injuries were reported.

The building, which houses four commercial tenants on the first floor and four residential apartments on the second floor, sustained moderate smoke and fire damage, officials said.

Jan. 10

A structure fire broke out on Ox Bow Road in Teaticket just before 1 a.m., officials said.

Engine 25 arrived to find an active fire at the rear of the building, reaching from the ground level to the second floor.

"Despite challenging conditions, the crew successfully provided water using a hand-stretched line due to the steep driveway and distance from the road," officials said.

The fire had also spread to the attic, prompting a second alarm due to poor weather and high winds.

All three occupants were alerted by smoke detectors and were able to safely evacuate along with their pet dog. No injuries were reported.
