Andover Fire Rescue

Around 0600 this morning, firefighters responded to Ferndale Avenue for a reported basement fire.

On arrival, smoke was showing from the large residence. Our firefighters located a small fire in the basement and were able to quickly extinguish it before it could spread. There were no injuries.

We are proud to serve the Town of Andover.

We would like to give a special thanks to Roger and his crew at REHAB FIVE for their assistance during our second alarm fire last night on South Main Street.

Firefighting is a physically demanding job, made even more demanding by hot and humid conditions. Rehab Five took great care of our firefighters, providing cold water, Gatorade, and snacks.

Time after time, Rehab Five has shown up for our firefighters when it matters the most, and we are grateful for that.

Thank you, Roger and Rehab Five!!!

Overnight, Engine Company 1 responded mutual aid to the Town of North Reading for station coverage.

North Reading had a second alarm fire on Wright Street.
