INVE TIGATION
I was working on shift at the time of the tire. I arrived later in the incident on Amb. 55 to stand by
and assist as needed. After the fire was extinguished, I was assigned to Fire lnvestiga[ion and
requesled my work vehicle !o the scene tor needed equipment. White ouLside I spoke with a
person who stated her apartment was the apartment that had the fire. Mary Derick D.O.B. 8-26-
91 (774-552-8833) Mary stated to me that hersett and boyfriend (George Boudreau DOB 6-4-96
508-585-2057) were not home at the time of the fire, they were aterted by a neighbor by phone.
They were shopping at a locatstore. Mary Stated to me that they had lunch prior !o leaving the
apartment and used a Air-Fryer to warm two pieces of pizza. She remembers turning oFf the air-
fryer and pushing it back on the stove. she stated she did not unptug the apptiance. The oven
was not used at all that day. She has had the air-fryer tor approx. 2 years and has not had any
issues with it. Both Mary and George did not notice anylhing unusuaI today with any power
surges or etectricaI problems. They warmed the pizza 15 minutes prior to leaving aparEment, and
were catted about the Fire, 15-20 minutes aFter leavinq the apartment. Their main concern was
for their 2 cats which were rescued and given to them by the Firefighters. I asked if any other
devices or apptiances were ptugged in the etectricaI outlet with the air-tryer lo which both Mary
and George said nothing etse was ptugged in.
I began my investigation by taking pictures of the apartment 2307 and found the area of origin to
be in the kitchen in the area of the stove. I coutd not determine if the apptiance was plugged in
or not due to the heavy Fire damage to the electrica I outtet. The knobs were burned off the
oven on the side of the oven where the appliance (the menlioned air-fryer)was burned and
melted. Therefor i coutd not determine if the oven knobs were in the on or ott position. The
microwave was ptugged in above in the cabineE. I requested lhe Electrical lnsPector lo the scene
(Ken Ettiot) and he and I removed the etectrical box and outteE From the wallto have a ctoser
inspeclion. The etectricat panetwas in the bedroom and att of the breakers were in the off
position, which I was totd [ater was done by a Firetighter during fire suppression.
i spoke to the tenants after my preliminary investigation, I asked it any candtes were used, Mary
said no. They did not store any discarded cigarettes' in the area of origin. The area on counter
next to stove is generatty open to store the air fryer on lhe counter. Mary said, maybe an oven
MIT was on the counler.
I am unabte to determine the heat source that contributed to lhe initiat ignition of the tire At the
time of this report, I believe !he tire is accidentat in nature, with potentiaI heat sources oF the
oven burner being mistakenty turned on or an air fryer tha! may have been mistakenly turned on
and left unattended.
