House fire in New Bedford deemed accidental

A house fire that broke out in New Bedford on Sunday morning has been determined to be accidental, according to a social media post by the city’s fire department.

 

Around 10 a.m., crews were called to a home on Ludlow St. for a report of fire coming from the building.

 

When firefighters got to the scene, they found heavy fire coming from the home.

 

Right now, the house is unlivable, but not a total loss. The garage of the home was destroyed.

 

District Fire Chief Dave Cooper said the cause may have been from a propane tank explosion.

 

A man inside the home was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital with what is believed to be minor burns. There were no injuries to any firefighters.
