FALL RIVER, Mass. (WPRI) - Fire crews are investigating what caused a fire at a triple decker in the 600 block of Palmer Street in Fall River.

The 911 call came in just before 7:00 A.M. Tuesday, with reports of smoke billowing out a window. Firefighters rushed to the second floor, where the flames started, and got the fire out within ten minutes.

Nobody was hurt.

Responding fire trucks ended up blocking the narrow street, and police closed off the street to cars because of the logjam.
