A 47-year-old man is facing charges after a fire broke out in Taunton Tuesday morning.

Firefighters rushed to Grant Street around 7:15 a.m. and found heavy smoke coming from a triple-decker.

Taunton Fire Chief Steven Lavigne said firefighters and two officers entered the home to help the three occupants get out safely.

“The fire had gotten into the walls, so we had to do some overhauling,” Lavigne said. “We had to take down some ceilings and walls to get to the hidden fire.”
