According to CBS News Boston, fireworks inside the more than 100-year-old home ignited.
“It’s a very stubborn fire, because of the age and the layout of the building,” Deputy Chief Joseph Feeney told reporters. About 80 firefighters from surrounding towns–Hanson, Abington, East Bridgewater, West Bridgewater, Bridgewater, Rockland, Brockton, Norwell, Hanover, Halifax, Hingham, Holbrook, Randolph, Marshfield, Avon, and Pembroke–assisted Whitman crews on scene.
