Kitchen fire in Wayland home prompts numerous fire crews to respond

WAYLAND, Mass. — A kitchen fire inside a Wayland home prompted numerous fire crews to respond to the scene.

According to Wayland Assistant Chief Richard Ripley, around 6:58 PM on Thursday, crews were dispatched to 14 Emerson Road.

Once on the scene, firefighters were met with smoke coming from the building, alongside a fire inside the kitchen.
