Wayland Patch 12/5/11: Response to Weekend Fire Appropriate, Challenging. Wayland Fire Department investigators are continuing to look into the cause of a Saturday evening fire that destroyed an unoccupied home under renovation on Dudley Road. Wayland Fire Chief Bob Loomer said he anticipates the investigation to conclude in the next 48 hours, but the fire “does not appear to be suspicious at this time.” At 7:24 p.m. on Dec. 3, Wayland 911 dispatch began receiving calls reporting a fire at 123 Dudley Road. Loomer said several of the calls came from across Dudley Pond, as the home sits on the shore of the pond.
