MARLBOROUGH – Firefighters battled a fire in a Mechanic Street home.
The Marlborough Fire Department was dispatched to a working fire at 142 Mechanic Street in the early afternoon hours of March 18.
Engine 4 and Squad 1 out of Station 2 on Pleasant Street were first due to the fire. Engine 1, Engine 3, Rescue 1 and Truck 1 responded, along with Car 1, Car 2, Car 3 and Car 5.
Engine 4 crews reported that smoke was showing from the second floor of 142 Mechanic Street. Hose lines were quickly put in place and an aggressive interior fire attack kept the fire to the area of origin.
The utilities to the structure were shut down by National Grid and Eversource. The Marlborough Fire Departments Fire Investigation Unit (FIU) and the Marlborough Building Department/Code Enforcement were requested to the scene.
“There were no civilian injuries. One firefighter was transported to Marlborough Hospital for an evaluation of some minor burn injuries,” said Chief Kevin Breen.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. Damage assessments have not been determined.
