"A large early-morning Christmas Eve fire killed a 21-year-old woman at a Needham home, officials said. Crews responded to 28 Woodworth Road just before 5 a.m., where heavy smoke and flames engulfed the three-story, single-family home, the state Department of Fire Services announced. Two adults escaped, but another individual, who The Boston Globe reported was a 21-year-old woman, was found dead inside the home."
"About 75 firefighters, representing a dozen departments, battled the four-alarm fire for more than seven hours. The origin of the fire is under investigation, but officials warned that these tragedies "are most common in the winter months." Needham police called the fire "an unimaginable tragedy" and said "the time will come" for donations and other support. Residents should ensure smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are installed on each level of a home, State Fire Marshal Jon Davine said."
