Watertown Firefighters quickly doused a fire that began in the attic of a home on Wilson Avenue.
The fire was called in on Jan. 10, 2020 at 2:03 p.m, and the Fire Department called a working fire at 2:10 p.m.
“The fire department was notified of the fire early on by an occupant which led to a quick extinguishment with minimal damage,” according to a post on the Watertown Fire Department.
The fire was caused by a faulty electrical fixture, according to the Watertown Fire Department.
No one was hurt in the fire, but the second floor residents had to relocate for one night.
The fire caused approximately $60,000 in damage, which was mostly contained to the attic, the fire report said. The first and second floors sustained water and smoke damage.
Which Watertown FF caused $60k worth of damage? They need to punished…or you as a news organization need to do better
The damage was caused by the fire.
More like the water going from the attic to the second and then to the first floor. Firs is bad enough but water causes most of the damage.
Do you know how to read properly? The damage was caused by the fire and water. Every firefighter acted professionally and prevented even more damage. 60K is actually limited damage for a house fire. That house could have been a total loss if their response was delayed by a few minutes
