At 9:36 p.m. on Thursday, 1/11/18, Acushnet firefighters responded to a reported shed fire on Cedar Hill Drive. On arrival units found two sheds fully involved with two others threatened.
Rochester Fire Department provided a 3,000 gallon tanker to assist with water supply because the area has no hydrants. Acushnet also has an 1800-gallon tanker truck and the three engines carry 1,000 gallons each. Two structures were destroyed, two were damaged. A pot-bellied pig died in the fire. There were no injuries to the property owners or public safety personnel.
