Crews stop fire that extended from wood stove inside West Harwich home…
WEST HARWICH – The fire extended from a wood stove inside a home located at 10 Elwood Road this evening.
At about 8:00 p.m., the first firefighters on scene observed fire showing on the exterior wall by the chimney, according to Chief David LeBlanc of the Harwich Fire Department. Companies were able to quickly knock down the visible flames, but some fire managed to extend into the walls on the first and second floors. Firefighters then cut into the walls to take care of hot spots in the blown-in insulation.
