Onset Fire Department

Onset firefighters evacuated residents after a massive leak in a gas main on Wednesday afternoon — and also put out a large brush fire that had simultaneously sparked amid critical fire conditions.

No injuries have been reported after two boats in Onset Harbor were simultaneously struck by lightning during a thunderstorm Tuesday evening, causing a fire on a fishing vessel.

A vehicle had to be pulled from the water off Onset Pier on Friday night and its occupant taken to the hospital for evaluation.

Officials are investigating after a structure fire on Robinwood Road at around 8:51 p.m. on Wednesday is believed to have been set on purpose.

Two firefighters sustained minor injuries in an Onset house fire last, but all residents and their pets escaped unharmed.
