the story from projo:
PROVIDENCE — No one was seriously hurt, but a three-story apartment building at Almy and Tell streets was seriously damaged yesterday in an afternoon fire.
A two-month-old infant was taken to Hasbro Children’s Hospital by rescue crews, but Fire Chief George S. Farrell said the infant was breathing on its own.
Fire officials estimated at least 10 adults and 5 children were made homeless by the 3:55 p.m. blaze that, from the outside, appeared to have severely damaged the top two floors of the building at 168 Almy St., at the intersection with Tell Street.
Eight fire engines, four ladder trucks and three rescue vehicles responded to the two alarms, Farrell said.
After what he called “an aggressive internal attack,” the fire was brought under control after about 20 minutes.
It was difficult to determine how many people lived in the house, Farrell said, because many of the tenants were either at work or possibly outside enjoying yesterday’s sunny weather when the fire broke out.
Everyone had gotten out of the building by the time firefighters arrived on the scene, he said.
At one point, Farrell said firefighters were concerned that the blaze might spread to a three-story apartment building next door. Though the heat from the fire melted the vinyl siding off that building, the fire was contained to 168 Almy St.
Farrell said fire investigators hadn’t been able to determine yet where or how the fire started.
“It’s all under investigation,” he said.
