1 person dead, 2 others hospitalized after fire breaks out at large Sudbury home, chief says


One person is dead and two other people are hospitalized after a fire tore through a large home in Sudbury on Wednesday morning, officials said.

Crews responding to a 911 call for a reported structure fire at 30 Goodmans Hill Road around 5 a.m. found “significant” flames consuming the rear of the home, according to Sudbury Fire Chief John Whalen.

Firefighters eventually made entry into the home and found one person dead on the first floor, Whalen said during a late-morning news conference. The name of the victim is being withheld at this time.

Three other people in the home were able to escape, but two of them were taken to the hospital for evaluation. A police officer was also transported from the scene for smoke inhalation.

Whalen said his firefighters encountered challenges because the home is set 1,000 feet off the street, forcing them to lay 900 feet of supply lines to get water on the fire.

Whalen also noted that it’s too early to determine if the fire was suspicious in nature.

Aerial video showed multiple fire trucks at the scene as thick white smoke billowed from the home. Multiple police cruisers were also spotted along the road.

A real estate listing indicated the home has three garages, five bedrooms, and six bathrooms over 9,253 square feet of space. The listing estimated the home’s value at $2,096,700.

Massachusetts State Police troopers and the State Fire Marshal’s Office are assisting Sudbury police and fire officials with an investigation into the cause of the blaze.

There were no additional details immediately available.
