Hopkinton firefighters teamed up with mutual aid partners from multiple towns to extinguish a two-alarm fire in a Hopkinton commercial building Sunday afternoon.

According to a press release from the Hopkinton Fire Department, crews were dispatched to 8-18 Avenue E — off South Street — at approximately 3:49 p.m. on Sunday following a report of an automatic fire alarm activation.

“Crews arrived to find smoke coming from the building and located an active fire on the first floor and in one of the laboratories at Element,” the press release stated. [Editor’s note: The name of the company was corrected from the original version of the story.]

According to its website, Element Boston-Hopkinton offers a variety of battery testing services. “Our sophisticated test equipment and high-current capacity support your most complex testing projects and energy storage applications,” a description on the website reads.

Companies from Westborough, Ashland, Southborough, Upton, Bellingham, Hopedale, Milford and Framingham were called to the scene after a second alarm was activated. Medway provided station coverage for the HFD.

Crews located a heavy fire on the first floor of the building after making entry and brought it under control. No injuries were reported.

The HFD and the Massachusetts State Police are investigating the cause of the fire. The HFD’s press release noted that lithium-ion batteries were believed to be present in the area where the fire occurred.

“Thanks to the quick work of our crews, along with significant mutual aid support, we were able to contain the fire to its area of origin and prevent further damage throughout the building,” said HFD Chief Gary Daugherty. “We are grateful for the assistance of our neighboring departments.”
