TEMPLETON — On Friday, June 12, 2026, at approximately 6:07 p.m., the Templeton Fire Department was notified of a possible structure fire on Patriots Road.
According to Templeton Fire Chief David Dickie, police arrived first and reported smoke coming from the second floor above the garage.
“With the help of an off duty Winchendon firefighter that was passing by it was confirmed that everyone was safely out of the building, and the fire was then contained to the room of origin,” Chief Dickie said.
The first-arriving Templeton fire crews finished extinguishing the fire. Firefighters from Gardner and Winchendon assisted by checking the rest of the home for fire extension and ventilating smoke from the residence.
The fire was declared extinguished at 6:43 p.m.
Chief Dickie thanked Templeton police, Templeton dispatch, Templeton Light and Water and the department’s mutual aid partners for their assistance during the incident.
The fire is being investigated by the District 8 Fire Investigation Unit and the Templeton Fire Department.
Chief Dickie said the fire does not appear to be suspicious at this time, but the investigation remains ongoing.
