WESTBOROUGH – The Westborough Fire Department had a very busy weekend.
Late on Friday, July 21, the department’s dive team was summoned to Lake Maspenock to help search for a missing swimmer.
The body of that swimmer, identified as 21-year-old Wilinson J. Orbequito of Hopkinton, was recovered during the morning of Saturday, July 22.
He was reported missing after he had not returned from a swim at Sandy Beach. First responders from around the area searched until late on July 21, but had to suspend the search due to thunderstorms. The search resumed around 6:15 a.m. on July 22, and the body was recovered about two hours later.
The department also responded to a structure fire and to a motor vehicle accident, both on July 21.
The fire, at 63 South St., was quickly extinguished. There were no injuries.
The motor vehicle accident took place on the Mass. Turnpike. There were injuries reported, but details have yet to be released.
On Sunday, July 23, the department’s Engine 4, Truck 1 and the drone unit were summoned to a train fire in the area of 19 Walkup Drive.
