4-Alarm House Fire at 3 Melody Lane, Lynnfield.

On Thursday May 21st Emergency crews responded to a reported gas leak with smoke showing at 3 Melody Lane.
Upon arrival, crews reported a two-story wood-frame structure, with nothing visible from the exterior. E2 Deputy Chief Mutti subsequently confirmed a working basement fire, prompting an expanded response.
Interior crews reported that the fire had extended to the first floor and a second alarm was transmitted. Shortly after the second alarm was transmitted, interior crews reported that the floor of the first floor became unstable and all members were ordered out of the building for safety reasons.
Within 5 minutes of the evacuation tones being sounded a partial collapse of the first floor into the basement occurred.
Command transmitted a 3rd alarm following the structural collapse and later upgraded the incident to a 4th alarm to support ongoing firefighting operations, staffing needs, and community coverage assignments.
Mutual aid companies from North Reading, Middleton, Wakefield, Lynnfield, Saugus, Lynn, Salem, Stoneham, Beverly, Peabody, and other surrounding communities assisted during the operation.
Atlantic Ambulance responded to the scene, and one Lynnfield firefighter was transported by ALS to Lahey Burlington at approximately 3:20 p.m. That firefighter was later released from the hospital.
Atlantic and Armstrong ambulances provided on-scene support as well as town coverage during the incident.
Rehab Five provided on firefighter rehabilitation with multiple units on scene.
Lynnfield Engine 2 remained on location for an overnight fire watch.
The structural collapse into the basement created trapped areas of fire with difficult access.
The following day, firefighters were called back to the property for a rekindle of the original fire.
The structure was deemed structurally unsafe and was ordered demolished by the town Building Commissioner. The building was demolished on Saturday.

Statement from Lynnfield Police & Fire

04/13/2026

Today marks the beginning of a new era for Lynnfield Fire Department. We have now occupied the former fire headquarters at 59 Summer Street (now called Center Station). This is an extraordinary time for us as we are now staffing two fire stations 24/7. We are extremely grateful for the support of the townspeople, and we look forward to provide the best services we can.

Exciting news from the Lynnfield Fire Department!

As of 7:00 AM this morning, both the brand-new Fire Headquarters at 1100 Summer Street and the newly renovated Center Fire Station at 59 Summer Street are officially staffed and operational.

By operating out of both stations, we can provide faster and more effective emergency response throughout Lynnfield. This marks a historic moment. It's the first time in department history that both stations are staffed and operational overnight!

This milestone would not have been possible without the support of our town leaders and residents. Thanks to the public safety buildings project, our facilities are now safer, more efficient, and better equipped to serve our community.

Thank you, Lynnfield, for helping us reach this important milestone! 🚒🏢

Dear Residents,

As a major storm approaches our region, the Lynnfield DPW asks for your cooperation with the following:

- Snow Removal Timeline: Please be patient as we manage what is expected to be a multi-day cleanup. Our priority is maintaining main roads for public safety, followed by side streets. Sidewalks and corners will take longer, with school routes prioritized. Our team will be working around the clock for several days to ensure the community is safe.
- Snow Disposal: Do not blow or plow snow back into the streets. This applies to both residents and private contractors. This practice is illegal and creates significant safety hazards for you and your neighbors.
- Hydrants and Catch Basins: If you live near a hydrant or catch basin, please consider assisting us by keeping these areas clear and accessible if you are able.
- Safety Warning: Unlike previous storms with lighter snow, this event is expected to produce heavy, wet snow. Please use extreme caution while shoveling and call 911 immediately in the event of a medical emergency.
- Driveways and Road Widening: We understand the frustration of snow being pushed back into driveways. However, with continuous plowing required for up to 48 hours, this is unavoidable. To keep roads as wide as possible given existing snowbanks, multiple passes will be necessary. We apologize for this inconvenience as our drivers work 24/7 to clear the town.
- Trash will be delayed one day. Please do not put trash out until Tuesday Morning.

Thank you for your assistance and patience.

WINTER STORM UPDATE
The Lynnfield Office of Emergency Management continues to monitor a major winter storm expected to impact our area from Sunday night into Monday night.

Key Timing
• Arrival: Accumulating snow is expected to begin Sunday night.
• Heaviest Snow: The most intense rates (3-4"/hr, possibly higher) will occur between Monday 5 AM and 4 PM.
• Tapering Off: Snow will begin to wind down late Monday afternoon or early evening.

Hazards & Impacts
• Travel: Travel will be difficult to impossible on Monday. We strongly advise staying off the roads to allow DPW crews to clear snow.
• Blizzard Conditions: Expect heavy snow combined with strong NE winds (40–60 mph gusts). This will result in low visibility and potentially whiteout conditions.
• Power Outages: The combination of heavy wet snow and high winds brings a high risk of tree damage and power outages. Ensure your devices are charged and flashlights are ready.
• Coastal Flooding: A Coastal Flood Watch is in effect. High tides on Monday morning and Tuesday morning could result in beach erosion and inundation in low-lying coastal areas.

What You Should Do Now
• Supplies: Complete your grocery and pharmacy trips early.
• Safety: Check on neighbors, especially the elderly, and ensure your heating vents are clear of snow.

PLEASE STAY OFF THE ROADS
