03/06/2015 - ROCKLAND, MASSACHUSETTS (PLYMOUTH COUNTY) - Just after 1100 hours on the morning of Friday, March 6, 2015 the Rockland Fire Department struck their Box-33 for a reported chimney fire at 83 Pacific Street. Companies arrived to find a fire in a two-story wood framed dwelling that was under construction. The fire apparently started in the chimney and extended to the rear of the building. A working fire was requested bringing Abington and Hanover engines to the scene and a Hingham engine to cover. Crews stretched two lines into the building to knock down the fire. The Hingham engine from coverage was moved up to the scene, and a Norwell engine took over the cover assignment. Crews from Rockland, Hanover and Abington worked inside the building to rip open walls and ceilings on the first and second floors. Crews remained on-scene to extensively overhaul and check for further extension to the building. No injuries were reported. The exact cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
