WILMINGTON, MA — Wilmington Police Officers at the Fun On The Fourth festival quickly responded to a Middlesex Avenue residence on Sunday, July 1 when they observed a large fire in a yard. Upon arrival, officers found a bonfire that was quickly getting out of control. The fire was less than 50 feet from a barn. Officers radioed for the Fire Department to respond and firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the fire.
