A third fire in less than two weeks struck yet another tenement in Fall River today.
The latest blaze was reported at 6:45 a.m. this morning at a multi-family home at 54 Lebanon street. According to Fire Department Chief Jeffrey Bacon, the original report was for a basement fire, but when crews arrived at the scene they saw smoke rising from multiple levels of the four-unit apartment building in the Flint neighborhood. The actual fire, however, was contained to a first floor closet.
No one was reported injured, but one person was displaced. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
The last two fires erupted on October 27th; the first at a tenement on Third Street, which caused extensive damage to the structure, and the second one on the same day on Hope Street. No one was reported injured in either of those two incidents, although some residents were displaced as a result.
