Littleton Police Investigating Suspicious Fire at Tesla Charging Station

On Monday, March 3, at about 1:10 a.m., Littleton Police and Fire Departments were dispatched to The Point Shopping Center, 830 Constitution Ave., for reports of fires at the Tesla charging station.

Responding officers observed that several Tesla charging stations were engulfed in flames and heavy, dark smoke.

Littleton Electric Light & Water Department was requested to respond and shut down power.

While waiting for the electric department to arrive, another charging station caught fire. A total of seven charging stations sustained heavy fire-related damage.

Once the fires were extinguished and the electric supply was cut off, officers launched a preliminary investigation.

There were no injuries.

Littleton Police and Fire Departments and the Massachusetts State Police Fire and Explosion Investigation Unit attached to the State Fire Marshal’s Office are investigating and have determined that the fire appears to have been intentionally set.

Anyone who believes they have information about the incident or observed anything suspicious is asked to call the Arson Watch Reward Program Hotline at 1-800-682-9229.

The Arson Watch Reward Program is coordinated by the Massachusetts Property Insurance Underwriting Association. The program offers rewards of up to $5,000 for information that solves, prevents, or detects arson crimes.
