BOSTON – Multiple businesses in Lynnfield were destroyed Tuesday night when intense flames tore through a strip mall.
The fire happened around 9 p.m. at the strip mall on Post Office Square.
Lynnfield strip mall fire
Daylight revealed significant damage to multiple businesses. Lynnfield Fire Chief Glenn Davis said most of the businesses will likely be a total loss.
No injuries have been reported following the fire, which happened while the businesses were closed.
Lynnfield strip mall had no sprinklers
Initial reported indicated that the fire may have started somewhere near Old Towne Market, which is in the middle of the strip mall. Flames then spread to nearby businesses, including a Dunkin’.
Davis said it is an old building with no sprinklers. There’s a common attic space that runs the whole length of the strip mall, allowing the fire to spread very quickly.
Multiple fire departments were required to put out the flames.
Local businesses destroyed by flames
Taylor Jenkins lives in the area. He said it is a major loss for the community.
That Dunks is full of locals every morning. My daughter did karate right at the Cervizzi’s on the corner, so it’s going to be pretty tough. And the little mart there, every time you go in you see somebody local, so it’s too bad,” he said.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined. The Massachusetts fire marshal will be at the strip mall Wednesday morning as the investigation continues.

The Boston Red Sox could be without the services of one of their top slugger in 2025.
Boston made an impressive move before the 2024 Major League Baseball season could kick off. The Red Sox need some right-handed pop in the middle of the lineup and swung a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals for outfielder Tyler O’Neil.
The trade clearly has worked out much better for the Red Sox than it has for the Cardinals. O’Neill is having one of the best seasons of his career and so far has 29 home runs and 56 RBIs while slashing .260/.349/.545 in 99 games played. This will be just the second season of his seven-year big league career that he will appear in over 100 games.
O’Neill has been great this season and the timing couldn’t be better for him as he will be a free agent at the end of the season. It’s unclear where he will land, but Bleacher Report’s Kerry Miller predicted it won’t be with Boston.
“Free Agents: (right-handed pitcher) Kenley Jansen, (outfielder) Tyler O’Neill, (right-handed pitcher) Nick Pivetta, (right-handed pitcher) Chris Martin, (catcher) Danny Jansen, (right-handed pitcher) Luis Garcia, (right-handed pitcher) Lucas Sims, (right-handed pitcher) Lucas Giolito (player option very likely to be exercised),” Miller said. “As far as position players are concerned, the Red Sox are in great shape for next year.
“Losing Tyler O’Neill stings a bit, but hard to argue with an outfield of Jarren Duran, Wilyer Abreu, and Ceddanne Rafaela. Theoretically getting healthy seasons out of both Triston Casas and Trevor Story sure would help fill O’Neill’s void in the lineup, too.”
It would make sense for the Red Sox to bring O’Neill back, but they have some solid outfielders on the roster already and Roman Anthony waiting to make his big-league debut. Unless Boston swings a trade involving an outfielder currently on the roster, it may make sense to spend elsewhere.
