MERRIMAC — Chief Larry Fisher reports that the Merrimac Fire Department responded to a structure fire Tuesday afternoon.
On Tuesday, April 7, Merrimac Firefighters were dispatched to 2 Mechanic St. for a reported structure fire at approximately 4:30 p.m.
Upon arrival, Merrimac firefighters found heavy flames and smoke outside of the home. First responders worked aggressively to put out the fire and were assisted by members of the Amesbury Fire Department at the scene after calling for a one-alarm response.
