Mid-morning on Thanksgiving, New Bedford fire responded for a building fire with reports of explosions in the rear. The second alarm was struck prior to arrival and the general alarm sounded shortly after arrival. Companies found heavy fire in the bulding of origin, a 3 story wood frame, exposure 2, a 1-1/2 story wood frame and exposure 4, another 3 story wood frame. An interior attack was attempted, but companies had to be withdrawn shortly after, due to the heavy fire conditions and a concern for collapse.
Rumors on scene were that the fire started in a turkey fryer that had been set up in the yard behind the building of origin.
The police had the scene locked down tight, but were decent to the photographers. Lots of long lens stuff here.
