A child was rescued from a fire in an apartment building in Fall River Saturday night.
The city’s fire department said crews responding to 135 Snell Street were met with “active fire conditions,” leading to them utilizing multiple ladders and search teams alongside hoses.
The child, 10, was taken to Saint Anne’s Hospital for evaluation.
According to the department, the fire was believed to be caused by an unattended candle that was “used during a religious ceremony.”
