Northborough Family Displaced After House Fire

NORTHBOROUGH, MA — A Northborough family was displaced from their home on Westbrook Road after a fire damaged most of it on Tuesday morning. Northborough fire officials said the family is staying with relatives in the area. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Northborough and Westborough Fire Departments responded to the two-alarm fire on Tuesday morning. Northborough Fire Chief David Parenti said the family of four was not home at the time of the fire and neither was the family dog.

"Our guys thought there might be a dog in the house cause they saw the crate and toys but it turns out he was at doggy daycare," Parenti said. Westborough Fire Department added that there were no injuries.

The fire started on the left side of the home and Parenti said he believes it either started in the outside mulch beds or inside the bedroom. He does not believe it was suspicious. Parenti said there was extensive smoke and heat damage to the home and two of the bedrooms
