MARSTONS MILLS - A firefighter was taken to Cape Cod Hospital this morning with non-life-threatening injuries received while fighting a blaze at a boat yard on Route 28.
The cause of the fire, which caused an undetermined amount of damage to a shed at Peck's Boats Inc., is still under investigation, according to Capt. Brady Rogers of the Centerville-Osterville-Marstons Mills Fire Department.
Information about the exact nature of the injuries to the firefighter was not immediately available, said Rogers.
The two-alarm blaze was first reported at 5:59 a.m. by a passerby who spotted heavy smoke coming from the boatyard on Route 28 near the intersection with Putnam Avenue, he said. Within moments of that call, another passerby reported seeing flames coming from a building.
Firefighters from the COMM, Cotuit, Hyannis and West Barnstable fire departments responded to the scene as did a crew from the Cape Cod Chapter of the American Red Cross.
