Pittsfield Fire Displaces Five, Injures Firefighters

By Brittany PolitoiBerkshires Staff

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — An attic fire that scorched the top portion of a duplex early Monday morning displaced five residents and injured two firefighters.

The Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire at 95 Greylock Terrace at about 3:30 p.m. Two firefighters were treated on the scene with minor injuries; there were no civilian injuries.

"Dispatch reported 911 caller attempted to extinguish a growing fire in their attic with an
extinguisher but were unsuccessful," the department reported.

The fire is currently under investigation but early findings point to a possible electrical issue.

The blaze was extinguished within one hour. Fire and smoke damage were contained to the attic and the second floor sustained water damage from attempts to douse the blaze.

Three engines, one car, and a tower truck responded while the Rapid Intervention Team was put on standby.

When Engine 5 and Car 2 arrived, they found smoke emanating from the 2 1/2 story, wood-
frame, two-family home. The E5 crew began extinguishing the growing attic fire using a hose line while the E3 crew secured the water supply to E5 and assisted with fire suppression.
