RANDOLPH — On Thursday, April 9, 2026, at approximately 6:05 p.m., Randolph police and firefighters responded to a report of a structure fire at 15 Joyce Circle, a raised-ranch style single-family home.

According to Randolph Fire Department Chief of Operations Paul Frew, one of the first officers to arrive on scene reported seeing smoke coming from the house.

Firefighters arrived within minutes and found flames showing from a three-season porch that had extended into the kitchen and up into the attic. A second alarm was struck, bringing additional fire resources to the scene, Frew said.

The residents told first responders that all occupants had safely escaped the home before firefighters arrived on scene.

Crews launched what officials described as a fast, aggressive interior attack using multiple hose lines, while Randolph’s Ladder 1 crew ventilated the fire by cutting into the roof.

Four people were displaced by the fire, and assistance was expected to be made available by the American Red Cross if needed.

No injuries were reported.

Mutual aid at the scene was provided by the Avon, Braintree, Holbrook and Milton fire departments. Randolph Fire Headquarters was covered by the Weymouth Fire Department, while Station 2 was covered by crews from the Canton and Stoughton fire departments, according to Frew.

The origin and cause of the fire remain under investigation by the Randolph Fire Department. Frew said the fire did not immediately appear to be suspicious.
