Wellesley Townsman
A fire was reported at a single-family home at 24 Wildon Road at 9:11 p.m. on Christmas Day. Crews arrived and contained the fire to a small area.
The residents were not injured and no firefighters were hurt. The house can remain occupied, according to the Fire Department.
The cause appears to be a faulty electric outlet and a breaker tripped. The electrical inspector was contacted to review the matter. A Needham engine responded to the fire, and Needham, Weston and Newton covered Wellesley headquarters. Deputy Corda and his crews responded quickly and contained the fire, said Chief Rick DeLorie. Excellent response.
