""We haven't determined the cause of this fire yet, but we know that tragedies like this one are most common in the winter months," State Fire Marshal Jon Davine said in a statement. "Please be sure you have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms on every level of your home and a practiced escape plan in the event of an emergency.""
"Investigators have examined the scene, interviewed witnesses, and collected other evidence over the past two days. They believe the fire began in the rear of an attached garage located on the right side of the three-story, single-family home. Investigators have identified multiple potential heat sources that could have caused the fire. All of them would have been accidental sources, officials said."
A fire on Christmas Eve at 28 Woodworth Road in Needham began in the rear of an attached garage and is believed to be accidental. The blaze caused catastrophic damage to the three-story single-family home and killed a 21-year-old woman; two adults escaped. First responders were called just before 5 a.m. and were pushed back by heavy smoke and flames. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will formally identify the victim and determine cause and manner of death. Needham Fire, Needham Police, and State Police examined the scene, interviewed witnesses, and identified multiple accidental potential heat sources.
