Firefighters from multiple Cape Cod communities battled a large blaze at a Sandwich restaurant on Sunday morning.
At about 5:27 a.m., the Sandwich Fire Department received a report of smoke coming from behind Captain’s Restaurant at 71 Tupper Road, according to a press release posted on the Sandwich Fire Department’s Facebook.
The restaurant has been around for 50 years and serves seafood, according to its website.
When firefighters arrived, they found fire at the rear of the building. Crews also saw the fire spreading from the basement to the first floor, resulting in firefighters backing out of the structure, the press release reads.
The fire continued to grow throughout the morning. Crews from West Barnstable, Centerville-Osterville-Marstons Mills, Bourne, Plymouth, Onset, Hyannis and Joint Base Cape Cod were called to help fight the fire. The Providence Canteen was on site with drinks and additional assistance for the firefighters, according to the press release.
The fire was extinguished by 12:30 p.m.
A total of 44 firefighters responded to the blaze. One firefighter was checked at the scene for exhaustion but was not hospitalized, according to the press release.
The fire is being investigated by the Sandwich Fire Department and the Massachusetts State Fire Marshal’s Office.
Sandwich Fire Chief John Burke did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Sunday.
