Man Dead, 2 Firefighters Hurt In Chelmsford Mobile Home Fire
CHELMSFORD (CBS) – A man died and two firefighters were hurt in a fire at a mobile home in Chelmsford overnight.
A neighbor called firefighters to the burning home on Mason Avenue around 12:45 a.m. Wednesday and told them someone was still inside.
"The firefighters quickly gained entry into the home and removed the male resident from the rapidly deteriorating condition," Fire Chief Gary Ryan said in a statement.
The man died. Ryan said two firefighters, one from Chelmsford and another from Billerica, were hurt and taken to a hospital as a precaution. Their injuries were not life-threatening.
The state fire marshal's office said the fire started in the living room and did not appear to be suspicious. There's no word yet on a cause.
The man's name has not been made public.
"On behalf of the Chelmsford Fire Department, I offer our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the victim," Ryan said.
