03/27/2019 - HULL, MASSACHUSETTS (PLYMOUTH COUNTY) - Around 2100 hours on the evening of Wednesday, March 27, 2019 the Hull Fire Department responded to a reported house fire at 1131 Nantasket Avenue. Companies arrived to find a well involved 2-story wood framed dwelling. The fire was quickly spreading to the "D" side exposure. A second alarm was transmitted, bringing mutual aid from Cohasset, Hingham, Norwell and Scituate to the scene. Companies had a hydrant close to the front of the building, but that hydrant was dead, requiring firefighters to find another hydrant further down Nantasket Avenue. The fully involved house at 1131 Nantasket Avenue was heavily involved in fire and with winds whipping off the nearby water, crews were not able to get ahead of the fire. The fire extended to the "D" side exposure at 1133 Nantasket Avenue and crews worked to prevent the fire from taking over that dwelling. Crews utilized ladder pipes from Hull and Hingham ladder's to knock down the fire, in addition to several hand lines that were stretched. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation. The occupants of both homes were reported to be out of the houses on the arrival of firefighters. No injuries were reported.
