According to the Holyoke Fire Department, at approximately 1:00 a.m. on Wednesday, crews were sent to Hitchcock Street for a reported working fire. When the crews arrived, the fire was showing on the back porches of the house.
The crews knocked down the main fire, but they had to perform an extensive overhaul because the fire had gotten into the walls and the ceiling of the first-floor kitchen.
