Seekonk, MA - Seekonk Fire Department units responded overnight to Mega Disposal on Industrial Way in Seekonk, Massachusetts, for a reported fire involving a fully loaded roll-off dumpster containing heavy timber, wood, and branches.

On August 24, 2026, firefighters arrived to find the container fully involved within a fenced industrial area, limiting direct access for ground operations. Due to the conditions and location of the fire, crews deployed an elevated ladder pipe to deliver a defensive water stream and begin suppression from above.

Seekonk Police supported operations using a drone equipped with thermal imaging, helping identify remaining hot spots within the container and guiding firefighters during overhaul and cooling efforts.

Mutual aid and station coverage were provided by the Attleboro and Rehoboth Fire Departments while Seekonk crews operated at the scene, ensuring continued protection for surrounding communities during the incident.

The coordinated response allowed firefighters to fully extinguish the deep-seated fire involving heavy debris, preventing further spread within the industrial property.
