PLYMOUTH – Up to eight local fire departments were called to Plymouth late Saturday in response to a blazing house fire.
At approximately 8:30 p.m. Saturday, a 911 emergency call in the Town of Plymouth reported a fire at the residence of Rowena Graph at 105 Morley Road.
Residents in the home had smelled smoke and immediately called 911 for help. Plymouth Fire Chief Matthew Bates was the first on the scene, arriving approximately two minutes after the call. Around 8:40 p.m., a call for mutual aid from nearby stations was sent out.
The fire departments on the scene were Plymouth, Norwich, Preston, Smyrna, South Otselic, North Norwich, Sherburne’s RIT Team, and Pharsalia was on standby at the Plymouth station.
At the time of the fire there were two people present in the home. Firefighters worked for approximately four hours to get the fire extinguished and cleared. The fire was totally put out by 1 a.m. Sunday.
Upon firefighter’s inspection, it was found there were no working smoke detectors in the home. The fire was said to have been started by the dryer in the kitchen, and the house is no longer habitable, Bates said.
Inspection shows the fire may have been burning for about 10-15 minutes before the call had come in. Second Assistant Fire Chief Bob Barnes was treated on the scene for a minor finger laceration.
Bates did say however that they family has insurance. He said he was grateful no one was seriously hurt and that other departments were on hand to help put out the blaze.
“I would like to thank all the other departments and volunteers who came and devoted their time to putting out the fire,” said Bates.
