IPSWICH — A family has been left in the lurch after a condo they planned to move into caught fire Wednesday.

There were no reported injuries, and the building “sustained significant smoke and fire damage and will require extensive rehabilitation,” Chief Paul J. Parisi said in a statement.

A fire department photo (below) showed smoke damage on all three floors of the building.

The blaze broke out June 29 at approximately 4:45 a.m., at 128 High St., which is the new development beside the high school, Parisi said. At the time, the dispatcher radioed out that there were two reports of a fire.

“I smelled smoke at 4:30 when I got up with my dog, then heard sirens about 15-20 minutes later,” Jason Hovey said on Facebook.

Police arrived first and one officer radioed that a doorway was on fire. “It looks like it’s coming from the interior,” he said.

Parisi said “firefighters observed heavy smoke showing from one of two connected units” when they arrived.

“A second alarm was struck due to the severity of the conditions, drawing all off-duty and on-call Ipswich fire personnel and mutual aid partners from the Rowley Fire Department, Topsfield Fire Department, Essex Fire Department, Hamilton Fire Department, and Rehab 5 to the scene.”

Ipswich police were on scene and helped with water supply and traffic control, Parisi said.

The fire was brought under control by approximately 5:45 a.m.

Firefighters learned that the building was uninhabited at the time of the fire due to construction.

The building’s owner is working with a family that was preparing to move into one of the units find alternate accommodations for the family.

The developer and owner, Lou Rubino, is scheduled to appear before the planning board Thursday to request temporary occupancy permits for the six townhouses. Two of the new units are still on the market for $889,900.

A seventh residence is planned for a section of the commercial building.

Members of the Wenham, Manchester and Newbury Fire Departments provided station coverage.

“I want to thank the members of our department for their quick thinking and all of our mutual aid partners for their timely response,” Parisi said. “With their help, we were able to bring this fire under control in one hour.”

The investigation indicates that the cause of the fire was accidental, he added.
