PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Firefighters were battling a large blaze on North Street late Wednesday night.
The fire at 6 White Terrace was called in shortly before midnight as a structure fire and a third alarm was called in.
Smoke could be seen billowing from the upper floors of the four-story building that fronts on North Street not far from Berkshire Medical Center.
This fire appears to be in the middle section of the building. There's heavy smoke and flames can be seen coming out of windows, and the roof.
North Street was blocked off from at least Linden Street to White Terrace and a smoky haze covers the area.
The apartment building was the scene of a fire in 2017 on the north end of the three-structure complex. At least two dozen people had to be evacuated at that time and four people were treated at the hospital.
Fire Department officials were unable to comment at this time and the building is reportedly unoccupied.
Hinsdale Fire Department and its rehab bus are on the scene as are Lenox firefighters. Police are not allowing anyone close to the scene and visibility is low from smoke.

DALTON, Mass. — Although spring has long come and gone, that does not mean decluttering has to wait until next year.
The town will soon offer programming to help residents of Dalton and the surrounding areas declutter their homes.
These are great programs, the town's Health Agent Health Agent Agnes Witkowski said.
On Thursday, Sept. 19, there will be a decluttering workshop at the Dalton Free Public Library. During the workshop, former teacher Jane Kavanau will demonstrate seven techniques to tackle clutter and stay organized.
"As a former real estate agent, she has seen the pitfalls of having a disorganized home and mind," the flyer says.
"She believes that each person and situation is different, requiring that organizing strategies be flexible and simple — definitely not "one size fits all."
