D Group fights fire at three-family home at 64 Linden St.

On Tuesday, August 2nd at approximately 11:00AM, firefighters were called to 64 Linden Street for a reported structure fire. First arriving companies, led by Deputy Mark Cancilla, were met by heavy smoke and fire coming from the first floor apartment of the three-family home. A primary search confirmed no occupants remained in the building as a successful interior attack was made on the fire, found to be located in a child's bedroom. The fire was quickly brought under control and no injuries were reported. The Fire Investigation Unit was called to the scene and determined the cause to be from a child playing with a lighter in his bedroom closet.
