Firefighters Extinguish Early Morning Blaze in Lynn

Firefighters battled a significant fire in a commercial building in Lynn, Massachusetts, early Wednesday morning, requiring an hour to extinguish the flames that were primarily located on the third floor. The building, situated at the intersection of Spring and Exchange streets, was unoccupied at the time of the incident, and no injuries have been reported. A second alarm was issued due to the intensity of the blaze, and the cause of the fire is still under investigation. In a separate incident earlier on Tuesday, firefighters in Whitman responded to a fire in a single-family home, which was caused by the careless disposal of smoking materials, resulting in approximately $50,000 in damages but no injuries. The Whitman Fire Department, along with the Massachusetts State Fire Marshal’s Office, is currently investigating the cause. Both incidents highlight ongoing fire safety concerns in the region.
