MURRAY – Firefighters pulled some of the siding off a house at 3388 Groth Road so they could get water directly on an electrical fire that was smoldering just after noon today.
The electrical fire started at the service entrance cable, firefighters said at the scene.
They were able to keep the electrical fire from turning into flames and causing more damage. National Grid also happened to be in the area and one of the Grid workers was able to shut off the electric from the meter, helping to keep the fire from spreading, said Bob Freida, the Clarendon fire chief.
Murray firefighters were assisted in mutual aid by Clarendon, Kendall and Hamlin.
