Firefighters from Stoughton, Sharon and Canton worked to put out a fire at a building on Southworth Court in Stoughton on Sunday. There were no injuries.
While there was potential for a more serious blaze, thanks to the quick work of firefighters, a fire at an old machine shop on Southworth Court in Stoughton early Sunday evening was extinguished, causing only moderate damage to the front corner of the brick building. Once a machine shop, the structure is now used as storage for building materials by its owner, Stoughton Fire Chief Mark Dolloff said. It is located at the end of Southworth Ct., which is off Canton St. The fire started around 6 p.m. on July 15 on a large stack of pallets in close proximity to the building, but then spread to the roof area hanging over the structure, and then to the interior of the building, Dolloff said.

A cat perished in the fire, at 2 Lyndon Road in Sharon on Friday.
