Milford, MA ~ An occupied 2sty apartment building was the scene of a suspicious fire on May 18, 2013 around 4am in the morning. The residents were home at the time of the blaze sleeping in their beds. The fire was set in the basement with other points of origin on the first and second floors.
Milford companies arrived to find heavy smoke showing from the dwelling. The fire appeared to be in the basement but fire was found in other rooms as companies investigated further. Heavy fire was found in a second floor bedroom on the Charlie side of the structure.
The Incident Commander requested a second alarm as a broken hydrant was discovered. Water supply was established from a few streets over from the scene. Several lines were stretched to each level of the house to knock the fire down. Extensive overhauling continued for hours after knock down to confirm that there was no further fire extension.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Arson Watch Hotline at 1-800-682-9229 or the Milford Police Department Tip Line at 1-508-473-3800.
