SOUTH YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS – [DEVELOPING] –  Firefighters from several towns responded to a structure fire at 50 Astor Way this morning, around 2:00 a.m. According to Deputy Chief Scott Smith of the Yarmouth Fire Department, Yarmouth Firefighters arrived on scene and found a smoke condition. Yarmouth Firefighters then immediately began checking the first floor of the home, finding an adult female in a first-floor bedroom. The adult female was brought out onto the front lawn where firefighters began CPR efforts. The adult female was transported to Cape Cod Hospital in a Yarmouth ambulance. Her current condition is unknown at the time of this report. Deputy Chief Smith then confirmed that a second patient was a juvenile female who managed to self-extricate. The juvenile female was conscious and standing, and was transported to Cape Cod Hospital. HN observed the juvenile female’s father arrive on scene and speak with a Yarmouth Police sergeant. The father was informed that his daughter was inside an ambulance and being transported to Cape Cod Hospital. The ambulance transporting the man’s daughter appeared to be a Brewster ambulance that was providing mutual aid. The fire appears to have originated in the basement according to initial, unconfirmed sources… [DEVELOPING] Crews were able to knock down the fire relatively quickly while checking for extension. A number of investigators from the Massachusetts State Fire Marshals office responded to the scene, which was still very active as of 5:15 a.m. The investigation is expected to last a number of hours. Deputy Chief Smith commended the initial Yarmouth Firefighters on scene for doing a “great job” in their rescue efforts, along with their firefighting efforts while awaiting additional support. Firefighters and apparatus responded from Dennis, Hyannis, Chatham, and Brewster to lend a hand. This morning’s high humidity combined with a temperature of approximately 75 degrees, made the scene particularly challenging for firefighters in their heavy turnout gear. A family cat found on the first floor of the home did not survive. The following HN Video highlights the scene at 50 Astor Way in South Yarmouth… [DEVELOPING] [HN VIDEO – PRESS PLAY]
