BEDFORD – A Bedford home located at 3414 Washington Avenue was damaged by fire early this morning.
According to Bedford Fire Chief John Hughes, the call came through the administrative line at the fire department.
“We like to stress that residents call 911 whenever they smell smoke or have a fire,” said Hughes.
Firefighters arrived to find smoke coming from the eaves of the home. The fire is believed to be caused by an electrical issue.
