May 8, 2015

A fire was extinguished at 31 Parkwood Drive late Friday afternoon.

Two people were in the building at the time of the fire but no one was injured.

Wareham Fire Assistant Chief Patrick Haskell said the department was focused on ventilating the structure, and opening up the wall on the damaged side of the house, to make sure the fire was not still burning inside the walls.

The fire caused an estimated $2,500 in damages and  the cause of the fire was ruled accidental. Ten firefighters were on the scene of the fire, which started at 3:45 p.m. All firefighters had left the scene by 4:34 p.m.
