Framingham Extinguishes Fire in Apartment Building Garage

FRAMINGHAM - The Framingham Fire Department responded Monday evening to a reported fire involving a personal watercraft in the parking garage at the Eagle Rock Apartments, 640 Worcester Road.

The fire was initially held in check by the building’s sprinkler system and was extinguished by arriving Framingham fire companies, said Framingham Fire Chief Michael Dutcher.

“No injuries were reported, and no residents were displaced as a result of the fire,” said Chief Dutcher.

The fire involved a personal watercraft, commonly known as a jet ski, that was parked in the garage.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation, although preliminary indications suggest the fire was accidental in nature, said the Fire Chief.
