CHELMSFORD, MA - On April 21st, Chelmsford firefighters arrived to find heavy fire showing from a large two-and-a-half story multi-family dwelling.
Companies stretched multiple lines to knock down the fire. Command struck a 2nd alarm, bringing in mutual aid to the fire and to cover the town. Companies went to a defensive attack due to the heavy volume of fire.
Command struck a 3rd alarm for manpower, and several big lines and a ladder pipe were used to extinguish the fire. Companies remained on scene for several hours overhauling.
