AYER, MA - Ayer firefighters were dispatched for a reported structure fire on Wright Road in the morning on March 27th. En rotue companies had a large column of black smoke in the air.
Upon arrival of the Ayer Fire Chief, heavy fire was showing from a two-and-a-half wood-frame. Companies made an aggressive interior attack, but were drawn back due to heavy fire conditions. Command struck a second-alarm, bringing in mutual aid to the fire and to cover the town.
Companies went exterior for a short period of time and then reentered the dwelling to extinguish the remaining hot spots and to overhaul.
