Brewster Fire/CWN
BREWSTER – On Thursday March 3 at 8:21 a.m. Brewster Fire was dispatched to a reported structure fire at a house under construction at 218 W.H. Besse Cartway. On arrival units found a moderate smoke condition coming from a large 2 ½ story private dwelling. Upon completion of a size-up of the structure personnel reported heavy fire in the basement extending to the first floor. Heavy smoke and high heat conditions were present throughout the entire home. Multiple hoselines were stretched into the dwelling for fire suppression operations.
With no fire hydrants present in the area, tanker apparatus was requested from Eastham and Wellfleet to ensure sufficient water was available to complete extinguishment. The main body of fire was knocked down in approximately 45 minutes. The basement and first floor of the dwelling suffered severe fire damage and smoke and heat damage was present throughout the rest of the residence.
Brewster Fire would like to thank mutual aid apparatus and Chief Officers from Harwich, Orleans, Eastham, Chatham, Dennis, and Wellfleet for responding to the scene and units from Dennis and Yarmouth for covering fire headquarters during the incident. The fire remains under investigation by the State Police Fire Investigation Unit and Brewster Fire.
