A 21-year-old woman died and two escaped after a four-alarm fire involving 75 firefighters engulfed a $2.5 million home, with investigation ongoing.

  • Massachusetts Fire Marshal Jon Davine said Wednesday a 21-year-old woman's body was recovered after a four-alarm fire engulfed a Woodworth Road home, confirmed in the afternoon.
  • Needham Fire Department struck multiple alarms and drew mutual aid from Brookline, Newton, Westwood, Dedham and others, deploying about 75 firefighters after the first call around 5 a.m.
  • A six-bedroom, 6,500-square-foot house built in 2014, assessed at about $2.5 million, had flames pouring from the first, second and third floors and a space over the garage still burning.
