Snow Plows Go Up In Flames At Hudson DPW Garage After Nor'easter

HUDSON, MA — A row of snow plows burned Tuesday evening inside Hudson's public works garage — thankfully the fire broke out after the nor'easter passed.

Hudson police and firefighters responded to the garage off Cox Street around 5 p.m. and arrived to find three plow trucks and three other public works vehicles in flames. There was no one inside the building when the fire broke out, but the vehicles and building were heavily damaged.

The fire department believes the fire broke out in one of the sanding trucks parked in the garage, and was likely accidental.

"We are grateful to all first responders who came to the scene and assisted in fighting the fire," Hudson Department of Public Works director Eric Ryder said. "Quick action by all made sure that the fire did not damage more equipment."

Firefighters from Marlborough, Sudbury, Stow and Northborough helped at the scene of the fire while crews from Clinton and Berlin covered town fire stations.
