Fire crews from nearby communities helped contain the blaze as the pregnant resident gave birth at Massachusetts General Hospital, officials said.
- On Monday, Chiara Keenan gave birth to daughter Giannina Grace Keenan at Winchester Hospital shortly after evacuating her family home in Winthrop, Massachusetts, which was destroyed by fire Sunday.
- The four-alarm blaze erupted at 155-157 River Road shortly after 4:30 p.m. Sunday, spreading rapidly from one home to an adjacent house and forcing four families to evacuate.
- Investigators are examining whether an electric vehicle sparked the blaze. Winthrop Fire Chief Stephen Calandra stated, "Once gets going, you put water on it—it doesn't do anything; it's hundreds of thousands of gallons."
- Homeowner Maurizio Marcoccio, Keenan's father, expressed heartbreak to WCVB: "That's the emotional part, because they did such a good job with the nursery and all that."
- Neighbors are rallying to support the displaced families by offering shelter and collecting items for residents who lost belongings when both homes were deemed a total loss.
