HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS – [HN VIDEO NOTES] – At around 11:36 p.m. last evening, a Hyannis FD Rescue ambulance responded to the front lobby of the Fairfield Inn & Suites located on Route 132 near the intersection with Airport Road for a man suffering severe burns to his arms and abdomen, according to sources. A Hyannis FD ambulance transported the patient to CCH, requesting that police meet them inside the tunnel to the emergency room. Meanwhile, at around 11:40 p.m., fire was reported several blocks away, inside a work bay… inside a metal building at 24 Plant Road. Hyannis Firefighters cut through a metal garage door and pried open entrances to several smoke-filled work bays, eventually knocking down a smoky fire. Investigators with the State Fire Marshal’s office, a Barnstable Police arson investigator, and a member of the sheriff’s crime scene unit responded and began working the scene. The man with the severe burns was eventually airlifted to an off-Cape burn center.
Fire officials reserved comment and said they are currently working on a media statement (see the latest Hyannis FD media statement below, updated at 6:45 a.m., 6/21/25).
