Two-alarm house fire in Truro
TRURO - A two-alarm fire gutted a house in Truro Thursday afternoon. The fire broke out at 32 Town Hall Road sometime around 3:20 p.m. The home is owned by well-known artist Nancy Craig. She was out at the time and not injured, but artwork at the house may have been lost. The house is believed to be a total loss. Firefighters from across the Outer Cape responded bringing in water by tanker to help quell the flames while others covered empty stations. Investigators say the fire is not suspicious and may be from a defective appliance. The American Red Cross also provided rehab to firefighters on scene. Photo courtesy of Jeff Stranger.
