Three-Alarm Hopkinton Fire Caused by Smoking Materials

By contributor,

HOPKINTON—A three-alarm fire on Mayhew Street started with the improper disposal of smoking materials, Hopkinton Fire Chief William R. Miller and State Fire Marshal Peter J. Ostroskey said.

“As spring approaches, we see more people coming out of the house to smoke on porches and stairways,” said Chief Miller. “There’s no safe way to smoke, but if you must smoke then be sure to use a sturdy ashtray with water or sand. Too many home fires start when smoking materials are stubbed out on a railing or stairway, or flicked into a planter or mulch.”
