“On Sunday evening, at approximately 6:00pm, Command Unit 1 & 2, Engines 1, 7, and 8, along with Ladders 1 and 4 were dispatched to 760 Shawmut Ave for a reported structure fire.
While en route, Command Unit 1 was notified by Fire Alarm that they had received multiple calls and that all residents were out of the building. Upon my arrival, Command Unit 1 reported heavy smoke and fire coming from the southwest corner which was an attached garage of this one-story, single family dwelling.
Fire crews advanced multiple hose lines into the residence and garage and the fire was under control by 6:30pm and by 8:00pm all apparatus had cleared the scene.
There were no injuries to either firefighters, civilians, or pets. A total of six residents were displaced and are being assisted by the American Red Cross. The fire was investigated by the NBFD Fire investigation Unit and remains under investigation. The residence was protected by working smoke detectors.”-New Bedford Fire Department.
