Structure Fire - Unionville Rd.
Sunday, June 23, 2019

On 6/23/19 at 6:04 pm the PCVFC along with automatic mutual aid companies were alerted for a residential structure fire in the 1500 block of Unionville Road. Initial reports from dispatch indicated a neighbor saw smoke coming from the rear windows of an abandoned structure. Command 1, Engine 102, Tower 1, and Tanker 1 responded. Assisting companies were later placed in service while still en-route. Chief Gladding arrived in Command 1 and found a light smoke condition coming from the rear of the structure on the first floor. Chief Gladding established command and began investigating further. A small amount of fire under a side door of the structure was observed and was able to be knocked down with a fire extinguisher. Engine 102 arrived and the crew stretched a 1 & 3/4” hose-line and made entry into the structure to investigate and extinguish remaining fire and embers. The crew from Tower 1 searched the second floor and attic for any unknown victims / occupants and for extension in the walls from the fire. The crew from Engine 102 found where a small fire had burnt the area under the exterior side door and floor in that room. The floor joists were compromised in the area of the fire and a partial floor collapse had occurred. Crews used a thermal imager to confirm the fire had not spread any further than the room of origin. Crews soaked the area down to ensure the fire was out and used a portable fan to evacuate the remaining light smoke out of the structure. This incident is being investigated by the Worcester County Fire Marshal’s office.
