A fire broke out at a mansion in Weston after residents attempted to fry a turkey in their garage on Thanksgiving, causing extensive damage to the property. The Weston Volunteer Fire Department responded to the scene and found the mansion engulfed in flames, with efforts to contain the fire hampered by a structural collapse and dangerous conditions. The situation was further complicated when a vehicle drove over the water supply hose, cutting off the flow of water for several minutes.
Firefighters from neighboring towns assisted in extinguishing the blaze, which took approximately 16 hours to control. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and it is believed that the fire originated in the garage due to the turkey frying mishap. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation, and the house has been deemed uninhabitable.
The Red Cross is providing assistance to the family who resided in the mansion, helping them find temporary accommodation and support during this challenging time. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safety precautions when cooking, especially during the holiday season. The Weston community is coming together to support the affected family as they navigate the aftermath of this devastating event.
