Firefighters responded to a call for a structure fire on Plymouth Blvd, early Wednesday afternoon, and arrived to find a two-story home well involved with fire. Firefighters mounted an interior attack until the second floor began to collapse and they were forced to withdraw. The fire seemed to have a good headstart and as a result much of the contents and interior walls were completely damaged. The home appeared to be complete loss. There was no one home at the time of the fire and there were no reported injuries. We responded 2 engines, 1 ladder, 1 tanker and a medical rescue to the scene and we were assisted by a Tiverton tanker and a Tiverton engine company. Car 1 called the fire under control about one hour into operations.The WFDLA and Providence Canteen arrived to aid in rehab. The cause appears to be electrical in nature in the area of the kitchen.

Ethan Garcia, a kindergarten student at Macomber Primary School, arrived to school in style with his parents earlier this month. He sat upfront in the Officer's seat aboard Ladder 7, with Firefighter Tim Bernard at the wheel.

Ethan's parents were the high bidders for the fire truck ride at an auction held to raise money for a new playground at Macomber School. The Westport Fire Department donated the ride to assist the school’s parent group, the WES-Mac PTO in raising funds to support this project.

Two Westport firefighters/paramedics helped deliver a baby in the back of the ambulance Wednesday night. Dennis Pelland and Steve Lopes arrived at a Main Road address for a medical emergency call at about 7:20. After assessing the patient, they placed her in the ambulance, and before they could leave for the hospital, she delivered a baby girl. The paramedics transported the mother and daughter to Charlton Memorial Hospital in Fall River, where both are reported to be doing fine. Good Job Guys.
