07/26/2017 - HANSON, MASSACHUSETTS (PLYMOUTH COUNTY) - Just before 2000 hours on the evening of Wednesday, July 26, 2017 the Hanson Fire Department responded to 572 Brook Street for a reported house fire. Companies arrived to find heavy from the basement windows on the A-D corner of the occupied dwelling. A working fire was requested bringing mutual aid engine companies from Pembroke and Whitman to the scene, and a Hanover engine for station coverage. First arriving companies made a transitional fire attack, hitting the heavy fire from the exterior of the building. When the fire darkened down, the Pembroke engine crew advanced a hand line into the building. An additional line was brought in, and crews worked the basement level and the first floor of the raised ranch. Crews were able to knock down the heavy fire quickly and contained the fire to the A-D corner of the building. Crews spent an extended amount of time opening up and checking for extension. All of the occupants of the house were out of the building when firefighters arrived. No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
