LUDLOW — Chief Ryan Pease reports that the Ludlow Fire Department extinguished a two-alarm fire in the garage of a residential property on Saturday afternoon, preventing the flames from spreading into the rest of the Timberidge Road home.
On Saturday, July 26, at approximately 2:20 p.m., Ludlow Fire responded to a fire at 101 Timberidge Road home after dispatchers received a call from a neighbor reporting the blaze.
Upon arrival, crews found an active fire on the second floor of the garage attached to the home, before making a swift, aggressive interior attack, stopping the fire from getting into the rest of the house.
The fire was brought under control is less than 25 minutes, resulting in no fire or smoke damage to the living areas of the residential property.
With no municipal water supply or fire hydrants in this section of Ludlow, firefighters drew water from tankers in order to put out the blaze.
Mutual aid was provided by the Belchertown and Westover Fire Departments. Station coverage was provided by the Chicopee Fire Department, while the Granby Fire Department responded to a medical emergency in Ludlow during the fire.
Ludlow Police assisted at the scene, and Ludlow Central Dispatch provided communication and logistical support.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Ludlow Fire Department and Massachusetts State Police assigned to the State Fire Marshal’s Office.
“I’d like to commend our firefighters for a job well done in responding to this fire, keeping it from spreading from the garage into the main portion of the house,” said Chief Ryan Pease. “Their efforts prevented much more significant damage, which very easily could have happened, if not for such a first-rate rapid response.”
