North Adams Structure Fire Escalates to All-Call Freezing Temperatures

Staff Reports Print Story | Email Story
The fire was determined to be an All-Call.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A late-night structure fire required an "All-Call" response from North Adams emergency crews Monday, who faced operational challenges due to air temperatures near zero degrees.
 
According to North Adams 911, at approximately 11:30 p.m., Firefighters and emergency personnel were dispatched to 325 Walnut Street. The incident was quickly escalated to an "All-Call," mobilizing all available municipal and mutual aid personnel.
 
While the property was determined to be unoccupied, the extreme cold caused water applied by crews to freeze. This resulted in wet surfaces becoming dangerously icy, creating hazardous conditions for first responders throughout the operation.
 
Fire departments from Clarksburg and Williamstown responded with mutual aid, bringing tanker trucks. Clarksburg also provided an air supply unit to assist with recharging the firefighters' breathing apparatuses.
 
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
