In the early morning hours of July 22, 2019, Natick (MA) fire was dispatched to a reported fire on South Main Street. Companies had fire in the basement of a 100×120, one-story commercial structure. As crews advanced lines it was determined the fire was also on the main floor, necessitating additional alarms. Over the next few hours, a total of eight alarms were struck, bringing mutual aid from all over the Metro West region of Massachusetts. A ninth alarm was struck later on in the incident. These photos were taken over seven hours after the initial dispatch.
