Overnight Fire on Butternut Road

Wakefield Fire Department responded to report of smoke in a home. Fire was extinguished in a short time.

Wakefield Fire Department personnel put out a fire on 9 Butternut Road soon after 1 a.m. Wednesday.

A resident at the home reported smoke detectors going off with smoke inside the building, and responders quickly confirmed there was a working fire up in the attic, which was soon brought under control.

One added factor in this service call, noted a Wakefield Police Log entry, was icing on the roads surrounding the fire.

More information will be provided when it becomes available.
