Five Alarm Fire at a Fall River Shopping Plaza

According to CBS 12 in Providence, Fall River Fire crews are working to determine what caused the five-alarm fire that broke out inside a local shopping plaza late last night. Reports stated that every firefighter available in the city was called to Mariano Bishop Boulevard around 9 p.m. where they found heavy flames and smoke billowing from the roof of Burns Power Tools. Fall River Fire Chief Roger St. Martin said crews noticed the roof was caving in so they attacked the flames from above which also damaged a Subway that shares a building with the shop. Crews were able to prevent the flames from spreading to a medical building just yards away. Fall River Mayor Paul Coogan told CBS 12 News Burns Power Tools is “an institution in the city and they will do what they can to help the business rebuild.”

 

No injuries were reported and the cause remains unknown as investigations continue.
