COHASSET, Mass. — Crews fought a stubborn fire at a transfer station for hours on Monday morning.
Officials say they received several 911 calls about an explosion and fire at the Cohasset Recycling and Transfer Facility around 5:45 a.m.
Arriving companies found a metal garage containing a $250,000 town-owned front-end loader and several adjacent sheds burning, according to authorities.
Cohasset, Scituate, and Norwell firefighters battled the flames for over two hours before finally knocking it down.
The front-end loader, along with the metal building was completely destroyed.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the State Fire Marshal’s Office.
