ROCKLAND, MASS. (WHDH) - A 2-alarm blaze that broke out at an oil business in Rockland Monday morning sent one firefighter to the hospital.
Firefighters battled the flames that broke on 265 Plain St. around 3 a.m.
The fire caused an electrical line to that building to fall on the ground, causing sparks to fly, Fire Chief Scott Duffey said.
Officials say the cause of the fire was electrical due to an overloaded power strip.
The building was left charred, with heavy damage to the right side and roof.
Damage was estimated at $100,000, according to officials.
The firefighter who was rushed to the hospital has been released.
