2 rescued during fire at Seekonk apartment building

Three people were taken to the hospital following a fire at a Seekonk apartment complex Thursday morning.

 

Crews responded to a 36-unit Greenbrier apartment building to find heavy smoke and a “rapidly evolving fire” in the stairwell. According to the Seekonk Fire Department, there were reports that occupants may have been trapped in third-floor units.

 

Firefighters removed two people who were trapped and helped evacuate the rest of the building.

 

A firefighter and a police officer were taken to a local hospital for smoke inhalation and a leg injury, officials said. One resident was also transported for smoke exposure. All are expected to make a full recovery.
