Firefighters used an interior attack and had the flames put down in about a half-hour. Fortunately public safety staffing levels were higher than normal in preparation for Blarney Blowout.
Busy RT9 was closed for a half mile on either side of the location to allow firefighters to do their work. The road was still closed at 9:30 PM, waiting for the DPW to come sand the ice created by water run off.

Stragglers from last night's parties, or a sign of bad things to come?
Is this the same house that had a fire a month ago?
No, that was 222 Belchertown Road (although they do look very much alike)
