2 Alarm Fire in Brookside Mills Condo Unit
May 2007- Firefighters responded to reports of a building fire at Brookside Mills on Brookside Road in Nabnassett. Firefighters found heavy smoke and fire in a backside condo unit above the garage. Firefighters were able to gain access from the outside deck with ladders. It appears the fire started outside on the deck and burned up the side of the building. The heat from the fire broke the window and the fire went inside catching the curtains and wall by the window on fire. A nearby residential sprinkler activated and was critical in keeping the fire at a controllable level, allowing Firefighters to make a quick knock down of the fire. The sprinkler helped prevent any further extension of the fire and helped keep the fire contained to the unit. The unit suffered fire
and smoke damage, but no injuries were reported of residents or Firefighters on scene. Residents are reminded how important it is to ensure the safe disposal of smoking materials as that is one of the leading causes of fires in Massachusetts.
