EV Charging Station May Have Sparked North Attleboro (MA) House Fire

A fire that broke out early Sunday morning on John C. Porter Way in North Attleboro may have been caused by an electric vehicle charging in the home’s garage, WPRI reports.

The fire, which began around 12:30 a.m., destroyed two vehicles – an electric car and a hybrid vehicle – and caused significant damage to the home.

The fire started in the garage and quickly spread to the main house, but firefighters managed to bring the fire under control within 45 minutes, WPRI reports.

Adding to the challenges for firefighters were solar panels installed on the roof, which complicated their efforts to extinguish the flames. Crews remained on-site for several hours to ensure that all hot spots, including blown-in insulation in the attic, were fully extinguished.
