On March 3rd at 1141 hours, the PCVFC and surrounding companies were dispatched to the 700 block of Cedar St for a house on fire. Initial reports were a kitchen fire with extension. Tower 1 and Engine 102 arrived simultaneously and went to work. Engine 102 stretched a line to the rear and began extinguishing all visible fire. Tower 1 split crews between venting the roof and searching for any victims. Searches were negative. All other companies were put to work upon arrival. Chief Miller had command. The fire is under investigation by the Worcester County Fire Marshal's Office.
