Crews respond to fiery crash early on Thanksgiving morning in southeastern Massachusetts.
Crews responded to a fiery crash early on Thanksgiving morning in southeastern Massachusetts.
According to the Lakeville Fire Department, a call came in just before 2:00 a.m. for a car off the road into a tree on Highland Road.
The driver was able to self-extricate from the vehicle prior to the arrival of responders.
A tone was transmitted for off-duty staffing, bringing 8 more firefighters in to respond with the 3 on-duty firefighters.
First arriving firefighters found the vehicle well involved in fire and quickly worked to extinguish the flames.
Paramedics evaluated the driver for injuries. He refused further care and transport to the hospital.
Incident command Deputy Chief Pam Garant requested a response from Lakeville Public Works because the water used for extinguishing turned to ice on the road surface.
Lakeville Police also closed the road down during the operation.
