YARMOUTH – Firefighters responded to an active blaze in a shed in Yarmouth shortly after 8 AM Monday. Crews worked quickly to keep the fire from spreading to the house on Laban Lane. No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
From Yarmouth Police: Monday at 8:02 AM, the Yarmouth Fire Department received a 911 call from the resident at 2 Laban Lane in South Yarmouth reporting a fire in a shed that is attached to the home. The fire was growing rapidly and extending to the residence.
Car 2 (Assistant Chief) was first on scene and reported a fully involved shed fire with fire exposure to the home and other equipment in yard, including two boats that were next to the shed. A working fire assignment was ordered, providing station coverage to handle subsequent incidents in town.
