Seekonk Fire Chief Fights Flames Alone

According to CBS 12 in Providence, the Freetown Fire Chief had to extinguish a massive fire by himself this past weekend.

 

Fire chief Gary Silvia said the call came in Saturday afternoon, and after checking the department’s emergency response phone app, he learned he was the only one available. Silvia said he arrived at the North Street home to find flames and smoke pouring from a camper parked on the property as it was beginning to spread to the house.

 

Berkeley and Rochester Fire Departments eventually responded to the scene to help. There were no reported injuries as the cause of the fire remains under investigation at this time.
