LUDLOW — Chief Ryan Pease reports that the Ludlow Fire Department responded to a house fire Saturday morning.
On Saturday, Jan 21 at 6:23 a.m., Ludlow Fire was dispatched to 26 Evergreen Circle for a report of a house fire. Upon arrival, firefighters observed heavy flames showing from the first floor of a two-story home.
Firefighters quickly struck a second alarm after arriving on scene and worked to extinguish the flames.
Two residents who were home at the time of the fire escaped prior to firefighters’ arrival and were transported to a local hospital for evaluation.
The first floor suffered heavy fire damage and the home is uninhabitable. Westover and Chicopee Fire responded to the scene to provide mutual aid while Wilbraham Fire provided station coverage.
The American Red Cross is providing assistance to the home’s residents.
The cause of the fire is not believed to be suspicious but remains under investigation by the Ludlow Fire Department and the Office of the State Fire Marshal.
