Blaze Damages Meadow Street HomeStaff reports

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A second-floor fire heavily damaged a home at the north end of Meadow Street on Friday afternoon.
The blaze was called in shortly after 1 p.m. as a couch fire said Fire Director Stephen Meranti. He said the cause was under investigation.
The two-apartment home at 21 Meadow St. is listed as belonging to Lois M. Filiault.
Meranti, speaking shortly after the fire was brought under control, said he did not know who owned the building or how many people lived in it. "We're trying to locate them right now to see if they need help from the Red Cross."
A resident of the upstairs apartment was able to flee out the back door ahead of the flames, according to ambulance personnel who were first to arrive at the scene. No one was injured but firefighters were unable to rescue a dog that was on the second floor.
Flames were shooting out of an upstairs side window of the house when firefighters arrived and continued to lick at the eaves above it. The ladder truck was parked on the steep hill to give access to the roof.
 Firefighters could be seen tossing burnt items out the the windows. The side and front windows were broken and blackened.
The power was shut off and a fire watch was planned for night.
Meranti said all off-duty firefighters were called in and the Adams Fire Department responded with its air truck. Clarksburg was called in to cover the station and finished pumping out a flooded basement that the North Adams department was working on.
