Watertown Firefighters put out a fire on Hillside Road that started with a computer charger.
On Tuesday at 6:53 p.m., a call came in for a computer on fire.
“Upon arrival smoke was reported coming from a third-floor window,” said Assistant Fire Chief William Maietta. “Further investigation found fire coming from a third-floor bedroom. Heavy smoke and high heat conditions made advancement with a hose line difficult.”
After the blaze was doused, an investigation found that the fire the computer charger and power strip had caught fire, Maietta said.
“The crews on scene did an excellent job keeping this incident to a working fire only and confining the fire to the room of origin,” Maietta said. “No injuries were reported. Mutual aid was brought in to cover our stations during the incident.”
