HUDSON — A GoFundMe page has been set up for a Woodrow Street family who lost their home to a fire two days before Christmas
According to the Hudson Fire Department, personnel responded to a report of a fire around 2:30 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 23. Upon arrival, fire was showing from the front of the structure. A first alarm was transmitted for additional manpower and resources; a second alarm was later struck.
Firefighters entered the home to attempt to extinguish the fire, but were met with heavy fire conditions, forcing them to evacuate. Firefighting operations were significantly impeded by the extremely cold outside temperature, which was below 5 degrees.
The fire was knocked down; District 14 fire investigators were called to the scene.
There were no injuries reported. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Mutual aid was provided by fire personnel from Marlborough, Stow, Sudbury, Northborough, Clinton and Berlin.
According to the GoFundMe page, the home, occupied by the McFarland family, sustained heavy damage.
