Lop Notes: Fatal Three-alarm Fire in Uxbridge, MA

A mother and her daughter were killed in a fire Monday night, 3 September, at 649 East Hartford Avenue, Uxbridge, MA.

The initial alarm was struck at 2238 hours, and three alarms were stuck due to the intensity of the fire and the difficulties in supplying water (the nearest fire hydrant was approximately 1200 feet from the property). Thirteen fire departments from Massachusetts and Rhode Island assisted the Uxbridge department with the fire in the five-family residence.

In addition to the two fatalities, two firefighters and one civilian were injured in the fire.
