WEST NEWBURY, Mass. — West Newbury firefighters battled a large blaze early Friday morning.
Crews responded to Middle Street around 3:30 a.m. where they found a home engulfed in heavy smoke and fire.
Two people were in the home with their pets at the time of the fire but were able to make it out.
Multiple fire departments from surrounding cities and towns assisted in fighting the stubborn flames. Firefighters had to rely on tankers to get water to the scene because this part of town is not serviced by hydrants.
The fire was knocked down at 4:42 a.m.
One firefighter suffered a very minor injury while on scene.
“I want to thank all of our mutual aid partners and other agencies that supported us, including Newburyport Fire Chief Christopher LeClaire and Groveland Fire Chief Robert Valentine,” said Chief Dwyer. “This was a challenging fire, and a good demonstration of the power of mutual aid.”
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
