That’s just terrible. Do we know if the residents need anything immediately?
I checked in with the Fire Department. They believe owners are OK, but will let me know if hear otherwise. (According to report by Southborough Wicked Local, the owners were down in Florida.)
They’re my grandparents, and they were in Florida. No one was home, and the house had been empty for weeks. Thank you for your support.
Glad to hear nobody was injured at least. Great work by Southborough F.D. for their fast response and preventing this fire from spreading throughout the house and to other homes nearby. It’s peace of mind as a resident knowing they are on duty 24/7/365.
