WHITMAN — Two occupants of a residence in Whitman were displaced after a fire left their two-story, wood-frame home uninhabitable, Whitman Fire Chief Timothy Clancy said.
Whitman firefighters responded to reports of a fire at 135 Glen St. shortly after 4:16 p.m. on Monday. The fire was quickly knocked downed down with the help of mutual aid from Hanson and East Bridgewater firefighters by 4:30 p.m., Clancy said in a written statement Tuesday.
According to Clancy, both occupants had safely evacuated the house before firefighters arrived.
“One occupant was evaluated on scene and was transported to a local hospital for evaluation,” he said.
Despite the quick work of firefighters, the house was deemed uninhabitable, and the two residents have been displaced.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Whitman Fire Department, Whitman Police Department and the State Police Fire and Explosion Investigation Unit.
