Waltham fire crews help battle Lexington fire

Waltham Fire Department crews were among the agencies responding to a working fire late Friday night at 75 Fottler Ave. in Lexington, according to fire officials and scanner reports.

Engine companies were dispatched to the scene after fire was reported in a two-and-a-half-story residential structure, with initial reports indicating fire in the eaves. Upon arrival, the Lexington Fire Department confirmed a working fire and checked to determine if the fire had spread into other parts of the dwelling.

Mutual aid departments, including the Waltham Fire Department, responded to assist with operations. Firefighters were observed operating ladders and conducting exterior and interior checks as crews worked to contain the fire and prevent further spread.

No injuries were immediately reported. The cause of the fire remains under investigation by fire officials.
