On arrival companies found fire coming from the building, said Chief Dutcher Sunday morning.

“Companies began to attack from the interior but due to some access issues and the nature of the type of building, it housed chemicals related to golf course maintenance, defensive operations were ordered by Car 2,” said Chief Dutcher to SOURCE.

“Water supply for defensive operations presented some challenges, so a second alarm was struck to get additional staffing to the scene,” said Chief Dutcher to the digital news media outlet.

Second alarm brought Engine 2, Engine 3, Ladder 3 to the scene.

All on duty Framingham companies were on scene and a second water supply was established, said Chief Dutcher.

“For several hours the structure was wet down until fire was declared under control,” said Chief Dutcher.

No injuries reported and fire cause is still being investigated.
