Uxbridge, MA ~ A caller reported seeing a smoke column somewhere west of Rte-146 in the area of Rte-16 overpass. Uxbridge Police and Fire went on the air to investigate. They traced the heavy black smoke to the area of West Street south of Rte-16. Engine 2 arrived at 24 Stanphyl Street to find a well-involved 2sty dwelling.
A Box-4, working fire assignment was requested along with a tanker task force, as this area of town was not supported by a hydrant system. Engine 2 dumped its tank water into the fully involved garage section of the house. The fire was now pushing from the entire farmer’s porch on side A and through the roofline. The attic was framed with lightweight trusses and failed quickly.
Second and third alarms were ordered bringing in tankers and manpower. Portable ponds were set up at the base of the driveway and pumped up to Engine 2’s hand lines and Ladder 1’s waterway. The homeowners arrived and stated that there was in fact no one in the structure at the time of the fire. However, there were several pets reported inside.
A firefighter on a ground ladder noticed that there was a dog was still alive in its cage on the second floor of the structure. Remarkably, the dog survived the heavy fire, smoke, and roof collapse during the blaze. The house was deemed a total loss.
