DRACUT — The Dracut Fire Department extinguished a two-alarm fire early Monday morning.
On Monday, March 30, at about 3 a.m., Dracut Fire Squad 1 was en route to a medical call when crews observed a house on fire at 1315 Bridge St.
Squad 1 responded and immediately declared a working fire, and shortly after struck a second alarm to bring additional personnel to the scene.
Pridestar EMS took over on the medical call, which was unrelated to the fire.
Crews engaged in defensive operations for about an hour before they were able to control the flames.
The home has been declared a total loss. The residence’s two occupants were not home at the time of the fire, and notifications have been made.
No firefighters or first responders reported any injuries.
Mutual aid was provided on scene by the fire departments of Lowell and Tyngsborough. Hudson, Pelham and Methuen fire departments provided station coverage.
Bridge Street was closed to traffic throughout the morning while firefighters conducted overhaul operations, but has since reopened. Motorists should not expect any delays in the area.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Dracut Fire Investigation Unit.
