HUDSON – An undetermined electrical event sparked a blaze earlier this month at a Felton Street apartment building that left nine people homeless.
Fire officials recently completed their investigation of the Dec. 7 fire at 29-31 Felton St. Fire Chief Bryan Johannes stressed residents should not use extension cords with space heaters. The chief said space heaters draw a lot of power and some extension cords are not rated to carry the amperage of a space heater.
All nine residents of the apartment building were able to escape the fire uninjured. No firefighters were injured during the blaze, which took firefighters from Hudson, Marlborough, Stow and Sudbury about 30 minutes to extinguish.
