At 8:44 a.m., the Wakefield Fire Department received multiple calls reporting an explosion at 318 Water St., where firefighters encountered heavy fire coming from the third floor. Responders quickly struck a second alarm as they worked intensely to rescue two adults trapped inside.
Investigators found smoking materials and home oxygen equipment on the third floor, indicating potential factors for the blaze. Fire officials noted that medical oxygen can enhance fire spread, making it particularly hazardous when combined with smoking.
