HARWICH – Fire broke out in a greenhouse structure in Harwich around 2 PM Tuesday. Firefighters from surrounding towns also responded to the scene on Pine Knoll Road off Bank Street. The fire was quickly knocked down and no injuries were reported.
Update from Harwich Fire: Just after 2 PM, Harwich Fire Alarm received a call for a greenhouse on fire at 186 Bank Street.
A first alarm assignment was dispatched and Harwich Fire responded along with Dennis, Chatham and Brewster. Harwich Police also responded.
On arrival a 75 x 30 greenhouse was on fire with heavy smoke showing and a large volume of fire in the materials stored inside.
Because there were no hydrants in the immediate area, water had to be shuttled in using three engine companies. The fire was quickly knocked down, and companies were on scene for a little over an hour overhauling.
The cause is under investigation.
