Brockton Candle Fire

Fire officials say a candle was to blame for a house fire in Brockton that sent several people to the hospital on Sunday. According to CBS 12 in Providence, crews were called to Central Square just before 1 a.m., finding heavy flames coming from the top two floors of the triple-decker and people hanging from third-floor windows. Five people were rescued with ladders, as seven in total were taken to the hospital with “varying injuries" that took about an hour to get the fire under control.
