  • Woman dies in Georgetown blaze

    Woman dies in Georgetown blaze

    [ad_1]

    GEORGETOWN — A woman died early Sunday in a four-alarm house fire on East Main Street.

    Firefighters rescued the seriously injured woman from the second story of the burning 2½-story, single-family home but she later died at an area hospital, according to Georgetown Fire Chief Matt McKay.

    The woman, whose name was not released, was carried out of a window and down a ladder. Three other occupants were able to safely evacuate after the fire broke out at 238 E. Main St. shortly before 11 p.m. Saturday, he said.

    Huge flames engulfing the roof of the wood-frame home were shooting about 20 feet into the sky as firefighters arrived.

    Firefighters from more than a dozen communities battled the blaze until bringing it under control at 12:46 a.m. Crews remained at the scene of the burned home, which was declared a total loss.

    The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Georgetown Fire Department with assistance from the Massachusetts State Police Fire and Explosion Investigation Unit with the State Fire Marshal’s Office, McKay said.

    As the blaze continued to burn out of control, a second alarm was struck shortly before 11 p.m. to bring in firefighters from surrounding communities.

    Third and fourth alarms were required to bring in more firefighters. East Main Street (Route 133) was closed in both directions for several hours during the blaze.

    Firefighters from the Rowley, West Newbury, Newbury, Boxford, Newburyport, Topsfield, North Andover, Lawrence, Middleton, Haverhill, Groveland, Amesbury, Ipswich and Amesbury fire departments responded to the fire and provided station coverage.

    Rehab 5, Cataldo Ambulance Service and Pridestar Trinity EMS also responded. The American Red Cross was notified to assist the displaced residents.

    The Georgetown Municipal Light Department responded and turned off power to the home.

    Investigators said Sunday that no additional information would be released until further notice.
