On Saturday, the Lincoln Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire on Old Concord Road. The incident was initially reported as smoke coming from solar panels installed on the roof of a residence.
Upon arrival, firefighters found that the fire had extended into the attic space. Lincoln firefighters quickly knocked down the attic fire while mutual aid crews searched for any additional extension. Crews from the Wayland Fire Department assisted by applying water to the solar panel array from an aerial ladder truck.
The fire damaged several solar panels and a portion of the roof beneath
The fire was first noticed by a delivery driver, who alerted the homeowners after observing smoke coming from the roof.

The Lincoln Fire Department is grateful for the driver's quick actions and is thankful the fire was discovered early, preventing more significant damage to the home.
The Lincoln Fire Department would like to thank our mutual aid partners, Concord, Weston, and Wayland Fire Departments as well as ProEMS for their assistance at the scene.

Amongst yesterday’s calls for service, Lincoln responded to Stonehedge Rd for a simultaneous report of smoke coming from a home and a possible furnace blowback. It was confirmed a blow back however, Fire Department gas meters found the home charged with Carbon Monoxide and unfortunately, no CO detectors present. Thankfully all residents were accounted for safe and mechanically ejected the CO from the home.

26F does require all homes to have a working carbon monoxide detector on all habitable levels of a home but, that can still leave questions. Below are a few resources from DFS and as always we are happy to help.

We are into Outdoor Burning Season 26', which began January 15th, and we would like to thank you all, in advance, for doing your part to maintain a safe burning season. The two most common causes of fires this time of year are; unattended outdoor burning and improper disposal of ash from fireplaces and wood stoves. We have had several fires ignite up to 24 hours after materials were left or dumped.

As a reminder to everyone who had a burn permit last year, the burn permits are now online through the Town’s online billing system. Permits are still $5 and only need to be paid once, for the entire season.

-Enter the town name: Lincoln

-Choose “Purchase burning permit”

-Complete the required fields and submit payment

*Once you have a permit, you will still have to call the day you plan to burn with your address, permit number and contact number. In doing so, you're helping us to know where Open Burns are or have taken place, in case of emergency.
