WESTBOROUGH – A single-family house on 3 Fisher St. sustained about $500,000 in damage following a fire overnight on Sunday, Nov. 3.
Fire companies from Westborough and surrounding communities were dispatched just before midnight. The family was able to get out safely before firefighters arrived.
Westborough’s Engine 2 and Truck 1 rescued one dog and four cats. Crews conducted an aggressive interior and exterior attack and extinguished the bulk of the fire within 15 minutes. Crews remained on scene for about 2 hours.
“I would like to commend our crews that made a quick entry into the house to save five animals,” Chief Patrick Purcell said. “They were then able to get the fire under control in a short period of time. This was a great effort by Westborough Fire and our mutual aid partners.”
No one was injured as a result of the fire.
The cause remains under investigation.
