ATTLEBORO, MASS. (WHDH) - Eight people were displaced from a multi-family home that caught on fire in Attleboro on Monday.
Crews responding to a reported fire on Orange Street around 6:40 p.m. found heavy smoke coming from the second floor of a multi-family home, according to Attleboro Fire Chief Scott Lachance.
Firefighters located flames in the void space between the second-floor ceiling and the roof, Lachance said.
