MILFORD, MA — Good examples of Dumpster fires: the 1992 Boston Red Sox, the Mass Pike at 7 a.m., whatever is going on this week with Antonio Brown. None, however, are literally Dumpster fires.

Milford firefighters on Tuesday morning did respond to actual fire in a Dumpster, however. The blaze broke out at around 10:30 a.m. at 2 Industrial Road near Quality Insulation and Building Products.

Five fire units responded, and had the fire out pretty quickly — all units cleared the scene by around noon.
