Residents displaced by New Bedford fire

More than a dozen people are without a home after a fire broke out in New Bedford Tuesday morning.

 

Crews responding to 14 Roosevelt Street around 7:15 a.m. found a fire on top of a stove extending to the cabinets and walls in one of the apartments.

 

Fire District Chief James Fortin said the fire was quickly extinguished and all of the residents and pets got out safely before crews arrived.

 

There is water and electrical damage to the second floor, but the building is not a total loss.
