On Friday, September 20th, two WPI students helped douse a fire at a house on 5 Dean St. Two WPI Campus Police officers responded to the house where they evacuated a child and two adults from the first floor of the burning building.
Kieth Harmon and David Wyckoff, both members of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity called 911 to report the fire, and then tried to extinguish a burning bag of grass clippings at the first floor rear porch of the house. Sergeant Rosario and Officer Westerman from WPI Campus Police arrived at the scene at 3:38a.m. and immediately rushed to evacuate the occupants of the house. Within three minutes the occupants had been evacuated and Worcester Fire arrived and attacked the partially extinguished fire.
Fire Lt. John C. Marcello said that the fire burned a section of the porch area.
