Firefighters made a quick stop on a fire Saturday night in 7 Bellingham Ave. that eventually took down the home, making it a total loss.
“The companies made pretty good work of it and kept it from spreading,” said Chief Tony Carli. “It’s a very tight neighborhood. It was tremendous work by everyone and there were no injuries…It could have been a lot worse in that neighborhood, especially at that time of night. Oddly, it was a vacant home, which is odd in this housing market. From our investigation, it seems it was tied up in an estate and that’s why it was vacant. We brought in the State Fire Marshal and our investigation team to look at it. It is at the moment still under investigation.”
