NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Dr. Bethany King, an ear, nose, and throat doctor, or otolaryngologist, has joined Northern Berkshire Healthcare Physicians Group and the medical staff of North Adams Regional Hospital.

King has offices in the Ambulatory Care Center on the NARH campus and is accepting new patients. Her phone number is 413-664-5484.

King earned her medical degree from the Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans, and completed an internship in general surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. She served her residency in otolaryngology at the University of Iowa in Iowa City. She is a member of the American Academy of Otolaryngology and the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

"I'm a surgeon at heart, but I like the problem-solving that goes into primary care," said King. "Ear, nose, and throat medicine is much more than surgery. I enjoy the interaction with my patients. I like to talk to them, to educate them, and to take care of them."

Trained in the medical and surgical treatment of the ears, nose, throat, and related structures of the head and neck, otolaryngologists have expertise in managing their diseases and the sinuses, larynx, mouth and throat.

Multiple Departments Respond to Lanesborough Structure Fire

By Brittany PolitoiBerkshires Staff

LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — Multiple fire departments responded to a structure fire off Narragansett Avenue on Wednesday afternoon. 

The Fire Department received a call from the owner of 6 Bangor St. reporting a smoke and flames at around 1:44 p.m.

Firefighters arriving on scene reported heavy smoke emanating from the the 1940s single-family ranch home in the thickly settle neighborhood.

The blaze was brought under control in less than an hour and there were no civilian or firefighter injuries. 

"The homeowner was outside doing some work, evidently, opened the door when she came back in the house, and there were flames and smoke, so she backed out and called us, and that's all we know right now," Deputy Fire Chief Glen Storie said around 2:35 p.m. 

The fire was out at that time, and first responders observed "quite a bit of damage" to the home. The cause is still under investigation. 

Lanesborough, Cheshire, and Pittsfield departments responded to the scene, and Hancock covered the station during the call. 

"The first crew in knocked the fire right down with the first engine," Storie said. 

Smoke could be seen coming from the back of the home. Part of Narragansett Avenue and Bangor Avenue were blocked off while firefighters battled the blaze.
