From Yarmouth Fire: At 6:43 PM on December 1st, 2024, the Yarmouth Fire Department received a call from a delivery driver behind a supermarket on Station Avenue, reporting hearing an explosion and seeing fire in the woods near the rail trail bike path. Crews were dispatched to the area. Yarmouth Police investigated the end of Huntington Avenue and discovered a large commercial building with fire showing on arrival. Based on initial reports, the Fire Chief ordered a working fire assignment, bringing in fire crews from Barnstable and Dennis, as well as an ambulance from Harwich.
Fire crews made an aggressive attack on the fire, making access through heavy metal garage doors. Multiple explosions fueled the fire. The commercial garage bays were full of boats, motor vehicles, propane and other fuels. The fire had advanced quickly throughout the structure, but crews were able to contain the fire to three bays of the commercial building.
Fire crews worked for several hours to bring the fire under control. Centerville Osterville Marstons Mills, Chatham, Dennis, Hyannis, and Orleans Fire Departments covered Yarmouth Fire Stations and handled subsequent calls for service during the incident. There were no injuries to either civilians or fire department personnel.
The cause of the fire is yet to be determined and is currently under investigation by the Yarmouth Fire Department. Yarmouth Building Officials and the Yarmouth Police Department assisted at the scene. Fire crews are still on-scene, and the investigation will be ongoing
