All available Ludlow units responded to a structure fire in the area of Richmond Rd. At 2002 hours, this was the crew’s 14th emergency call for service today.

Crews arrived to find heavy black smoke coming from the structure. The incident required multiple mutual aid companies to respond to the scene, along with additional units to cover the town.

During this incident, there were an additional three emergency medical responses in town, one of which required a mutual aid ambulance for transport.

No occupants were home at the time of the incident. One dog was rescued without injury.

The scene is currently under control.

No injuries were reported. The cause remains under investigation.

We thank our mutual aid partners Wilbraham, Chicopee, Westover, Belchertown, and Granby for their assistance, as well as the Ludlow Police Department, MA.

Over the last 37 hours, the department has been operating at minimum staffing levels while continuing to manage a high call volume.

During this time, crews have responded to 38 calls for emergency service, including 3 fire related incidents. One of those incidents, the large scale fire on Wyoming Street, required a significant commitment of personnel and resources, temporarily exhausting our available staffing.

While operating at that incident, the department received a total of 9 medical calls for service throughout the town, 5 of which required out of town mutual aid transporting ambulances to ensure continued coverage and patient care.

Additionally, today’s call volume required 2 outside ambulance responses into the Town of Ludlow, with one mutual aid ambulance response being sent to the Town of Palmer.

We appreciate the continued support of our mutual aid partners: Granby, Belchertown, Wilbraham, Palmer, Westover Air Force Base, Three Rivers, and National Ambulance, who helped ensure uninterrupted service to our community during this period.
