At 01:13 Wednesday morning RPFD Volunteers were alerted to a possible fire on Somerville St. 330 arrived shortly after dispatch, confirmed visible fire from the home and transmitted the working fire. On arrival of Engine 1, the crew immediately stretched a line and began knocking down fire. Crews from Truck 1 and Maywood Truck 17 conducted a primary search and confirmed the home was safely evacuated. Engine 2 along with Maywood Engine 19 stretched a second line to the garage area while companies opened up and checked for extension.

The fast response from RPFD members as well as our mutual aid partners had the main body of fire quickly knocked down, and command placed the incident under control within 40 minutes of dispatch. There were no injuries reported at this incident.

We thank all our mutual aid companies who assisted both on scene and in coverage of our town while we operated.
