HOPKINTON — Chief William Miller reports that the Hopkinton Fire Department and its mutual aid partners extinguished a 3-alarm fire in a multi-family home on Mayhew Street Tuesday afternoon.

Hopkinton Fire responded to a 9-1-1 call at approximately 12:30 p.m. for the report of a fire in a multi-family home at 10 Mayhew Street.

Upon arrival firefighters found heavy fire showing from a second floor porch on the left side of the home, with flames extending into the second floor and attic.

A second and third alarm were struck because an aggressive attack on the fire required additional manpower to open up walls and ceilings and get at the deep-seated flames.

The fire was under control at approximately 1:30 p.m. There were no reported injuries.
