Framingham Extinguishes 2-Alarm Central Street Fire
FRAMINGHAM - Two individuals were displaced and one business impacted at a fire on Central Street this morning, November 1, 2025.
At around 8:58 a.m. on Saturday, the Framingham Fire Department received a report of a potential fire at 9 Central Street.
Engine 2 arrived first and observed smoke emanating from the building, confirming that a working fire was in progress. Additional units that responded included Engine 7, Engine 5, Rescue 1, Tower 1, and Command 2.
Upon arrival, crews discovered fire between the second and third floor walls of the mixed-use building.
Due to the fire’s location within the wall, the construction type, and the windy conditions, Deputy Fire Chief Nader Hamed struck a second alarm to bring additional resources to the scene.
Firefighters brought the fire under control within 30 minutes.
“Great aggressive work by Group 3 kept the fire loss to a minimum,” said Assistant Fire Chief John Schultz.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
The building at 9 Central Street was built in 1867 and contains multiple levels and both housing and commercial units.
The business impacted was Gold Spa Aesthetics.
The American Red Cross is on scene providing assistance to those affected.
