09/10/2018 - HOLBROOK, MASSACHUSETTS (NORFOLK COUNTY) - Around 1145 hours on the morning of Monday, September 10, 2018 the Holbrook Fire Department responded to a report of a car fire inside a garage at 14 French Road. Companies arrived to find heavy fire showing from the detached garage. The fire was impinging on the occupied one story residence in front of the garage. A working fire was requested, bringing a Randolph engine and Avon ambulance to the scene, and a Braintree engine to coverage. Crews advanced a hand line and were able to knock down the heavy fire, before entering the garage to knock down hot spots. Firefighters pushed out a Volkswagen Jetta, which may have been the origin of the fire, and extinguished the fire inside of the engine compartment. Crews were able to have the bulk of the fire knocked down within 15-minutes and remained on-scene hitting hot spots and overhauling. Firefighters later pushed out a 1966 Ford Mustang convertible that suffered fire, heat and smoke damage inside the garage. While the cause of the fire is still under investigation, it is believed the owner of the home was working on one of the vehicles inside the garage when the fire broke out. No injuries were reported.
