Mendon, Ma 2/15/10 Bicknell Dr. #20 : Mendon Fire Department responded to #20 Bicknell Drive early this evening for a reported chimney fire. Companies arriving found heavy black smoke pushing from the chimney of a 2 story, single family home. A mutual aid ladder company from Hopedale was called to the scene to assist. Mendon Firefighters kept the fire contained to the chimney using chimney bombs and running chimney chains down several times. The chimney was found to be plugged just out of reach of a 12’ pike pole so firefighters used rope tied to a 5 pound hammer to drop down the chimney in order to break through the plugged area. After about 45 minutes firefighters declared the fire under control and the chimney clear.

Upton, Ma. 2/1/10 Car vs House - Hopkinton, Rd : Upton fire department responded to a car vs house on Hopkinton road this evening. Companies found this pickup truck at the bottom of an approximately 100’, steep paved driveway, into the corner of the house. The driver had fled the scene prior to units arriving. There were no skid marks noted on the ground. The truck hit with enough force to move the house from the foundation several inches, separated the house in the corner and broke out a basement window. If the truck went a few more feet to the right the truck would have missed the house striking a large propane cylinder and continuing into the pond behind the home. No injuries were reported and police were still looking for the driver of the vehicle.
