An outdoor fire at 13 Oakdale Heights Lane burned fencing and part of a home around noon Tuesday, May 12.
According to Acting Fire Chief Mark Rogers, neighbors reported the fire. Smoke from the blaze could be seen across the Wareham River in the Oakdale Heights Lane neighborhood.
Rogers said Wareham Police and EMS were on scene when crews arrived. Police officers worked to contain the fire while crews were en route.
"Police and EMS already had a hoseline on it, which tampered it down," Rogers said.
The fire was contained by 12:25 p.m. Damage was limited to the fence and side of the home. Rogers said the full extent of the damage and the cause of the blaze remain under investigation.
